With modern cameras and probably more importantly, modern post processing software, ISO values that I would have never dreamed of in the past can produce more than just "keeper" images but rather good ones. I like this one and feel that it shows good color and detail rendition. This is a Streak-chested Antpitta, shot in the rain forest of Panama. This was early in the morning (when these birds are active), and deep in the undercover. The RAW file was converted in DXO Pure RAW 3, processed in PS (BG down, bird up in brightness and saturation) and finally run through Topaz De Noise at very low settings (noise reduction at 8 and sharpness at 10) prior to JPEG conversion. Shot with a Canon R5, 600 f4.0, SS 1/800, f/4.0, ISO 16,000, handheld.

It's nice you used restraint with the dxo. It's so easy to push into a creamy puddle to get that last bit of noise. You left a little grain but preserved a lot of detail.
