Very impressive. How far out was the bird?

Probably 75-85 feet, maybe? Sitting high on my roof.
My shoulder was getting pretty darn tired, so I bumped the shutter and ISO.
This one is at 2500 ISO, but this time with Topaz DeNoise AI applied. I think Topaz NeNoise does a relatively good quick job of removing background noise, while sharpening the subject. It's not perfect, as there are still some artifacts around the bird, but I guess if you had the time you could continue to remove those in post.
Here is the Topaz NeNoised and Original version. What do you like better? Opinions would be appreciated.

In the manner most people look at photos, they do look the same ... however on download & close-up, the noise (which I didn't consider all that bad) in the edited version is a lot less. Either way, a great shot.

Yes, thank you for your opinion. They are not meant to look any different other than the background noise, reduced, or all most entirely eliminated by Topaz DeNoise. Everything is out of camera, just brought into LR and exported to jpeg. The Sony a9 handles noise nicely, so I agree the original is not bad at all.
I agree with retired CPO, that you have to pixel peep to see the difference.
Anyone else want to give their opinion?

Very nice improvement? Sharper and removed most of the noise.
