Rose Ringed Parakeet

Shot this in Bandavgarh in October '10

Canon 7D 100-400

f/5.6 1/2000 ISO : 250

Facing few noise issues with my 7D . Kindly help me with Noise reduction techniques.

Nice perch and composition. The eye contact is good. A slight head turn in your direction would have enhanced the composition further. It is always better to use full ISO like 100, 200, 400 than intermediate 150, 250,..etc. You could have tried a further narrower aperture. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with Mrudul. Was the original image underexposed? Did you pull up the exposure during post processing?

Cheers,

Lovely composition. Agree with Mrudul about having head turned bit towards you. I use 7D and have never faced any issues with noise. Remember to expose it right - if under-exposed, noise will show itself nicely

For noise reduction, do check out free version of Neat Image. That will however require processing your images in 8-bit.

Beautiful composition, agree with comments made.
