Paradise Flycatcher Female

Could not avoid the grains, as I had to shoot this one in very low light condition.
Critics are welcome :)

The composition is superb, I've experienced myself how hard this bird is to photograph, so well done! Personally, I would have made some more effort to do noise reduction in post processing, but that's only a personal preference. All in all a great capture! Posted 10 years ago

  Thank you so much for your valuable feedback.
  I will see, if I can reduce the noise, I'm a beginner when it comes to using photo editing tools.
  Do you have any references or video URLs handy ?
  
  Thanks,

        Good choice :) Lightroom has some pretty good noise reduction tools. In Develop mode, you will find them in the "Detail" panel -> Noise Reduction. Make sure you are zoomed in to 100% and then play around with the sliders. Don't overdo it, because noise reduction will not only get rid of noise, it will also get rid of details you may still want.
        
        That's the quick and easy way. If you really wanna take control, you can use the adjustment brush and paint areas on the image that you want noise reduction to apply to, and leave other areas alone.
