Pretty, Russ. Worth trying a bit of denoise on the background?

Thanks

Thanks all.

Yes, I could use DxO's noise reduction on it, Jeremy, but even with the DxO stuff, which is the best I've ever used, you lose a bit of sharpness. It is what it is.

I was suggesting noise reduction in the background, Russ, and there's no sharpness there to lose.

I like the colours.

Thanks, Paulo. I liked the colors too and that's what made me raise the camera.

Jeremy, I'm not seeing a massive amount of noise in the background. I went back to the .DNG and blew it up to the point where I can see the individual pixels. I don't really see much noise.

OK. This is a screenshot of the left-hand side. It looks pretty noisy to me. Maybe it doesn't matter.

Yes, I see the noise that more or less jumps out in the flat background, but I see the noise in the leaf too. I guess I could bring the shot into DxO's exceptional noise reduction, but since I'm not planning to make a wall-sized print of this I'd go for "it doesn't matter." Maybe I'm just too oriented toward street, where subject and geometry are what matter.

I just went back and checked the original. It was shot at ISO 8000, which on the Pen-F is going to produce noise.
