so cute Chip - well captured!

Not cute at all! They steal oranges off my friend's trees and eat them leaving the hollowed out skin in the walk for people to slip on. Then they do the nefarious thing: steal pecans off the neighbor's tree and hide them here and there around my friend's garden. The worst is they jump on my very best friend's aviary and scare her. Sometimes she flies and crash lands as she has never been to flight school. I suspect they bite avocados that are months from being ready to pick and again they leave them on the walk. I have yet to see one with an avocado in its mouth but I have faced down one at half a meter with an orange in its mouth. They look cute at a glance, yes but deep down they are evil. They are lucky my mother raised me as a pacifist.

Here is the non Topaz Version, not exactly the same crop or contrast/ saturation adjustments 

@ Lars  very nice deep tones! and impressive 100% performance, is it Z8 , lens?
thank you!

Thanks, Nasos - I've downloaded both versions. Very interesting to see the difference in the processing. Last version seems a tad less saturated/contrast (maybe due to the different adjustments as you say), but still the nice detailed and soft feathers. Also shows the potential with the Z50II at iso 520 with the denoising. And, of course, the combo with 500 PF - a friend of mine have one.

Many thanks, glad you like the shot with the herons - a Z7 with Z 100-400, monopod, iso250, 1/1000s. I was also a bit impressed with the result at 100% performance - especially at 400mm.
Processed in C1, Neutral Z7 color profile, no saturation, a bit (+3) of contrast, sharpening at 100. I use the curves tool much for color contrast and tones. It was shot in the afternoon 1,5 hrs before sundown - it was a very nice light and atmosphere.         

Thank you Fons
