An “improved” version …

My attempt. These are the same edit; the second one is only cropped. dt 4.6.1
keep in mind that Canon R6mII isn’t supported yet by libraw - so you’re comparing a processing based on full knowledge of the camera capabilities with an improvised software
Agreed, but does camera support in libraw do more than give DT a good start point for white balance?
First edit in dt then processed further in GIMP (mainly GMIC filters Richardson-Lucy and Constrained Sharpen)
I would have been interested in having the OOC JPG file as a comparison for my efforts.
Thanks for the play. Processed on V4.7
I had no problem opening this on Windows latest 4.7 weekly build by Bill Ferguson.
I think the op provided this or at least said the jpg offered was the OOC version…
My Bad. In that case then a number of edits here have exceeded the OOC Jpg for detail. Still the Canons including my G16 and R7 do a reasonable JPG. My Olympus TG6 is so soft it is unbearable.
Terry,
I think the second image in this thread is the embedded jpeg - uncropped.
I extracted this from the raw file with exiftool.
A crop similar to yours. Darktable development version, but I don’t think I used any module not present in 4.6.1.

Certainly some beautiful sharp images here. It is all about learning the tools in DT that can achieve this. I am still learning and will look at some of the xmp files here because mine is nowhere near as good as all these images.
No, I think that’s only a full size preview image. Would be nice to have the original OOC JPEG which is probably less compressed and has a larger file size.
Here is my version, which I tried to make look sharp. It is a beautiful bird, but either it is too small, too far away or the lens to short . I am really surprised how good the image looks after despite the massive crop.
