Beautiful capture. The noise deserves more attention than I gave it.

Lovely scene!
I tried for the first time 'neural restore’s raw denoise.
Two versions, further actions the same on both.
First raw denoise at 60% second at 40%.

Hell,
I’m a beginner with Darktable.
I like the square format fir this picture.
I usually like less saturated greens, but with the birds in the white/grey/black, it lacked contrast, it was too flat.

Not exactly happy with the work. I think I need to revisit this with fresh eyes and more sleep.

Yes; could (and should) have done a better job, but had a long 10 hour shift and it is past 12am now. lol

But even then it is a beautiful interpretation!
@my_dad Thanks for sharing. Nice image. Cute birds.
@Seb17 Welcome to the forum.
@Soupy @AtaraxicShrug The high key concepts are great and suitable for an image like this (though as Rob was saying, it might need more refinement).
