Still amazing to me to see images shot at iso 25,600. Interesting looking/colorful bird and it looks like the end of the beak is slightly curved.

Nice pose and eye. IQ is quite good for that high ISO, although some chroma noise evident on underparts. I've found raw processing in Canon DPP is quite good for minimising that.

Excellent detail for that incredibly high iso setting, Jim. While there's still quite a bit of noise in the bird, it's not bad at all.

25600 ISO! Beautiful bird. I like the pose, perch and the nice catchlight.

A beautiful little bird and nicely blurred bg. I like the lichen tipped branch. Sharon
