J1 strange selection on face area which leaves that section blurred.no detail in black feathers J2 Good image with movement. However, there is a sort of filter over the head from above the eye to the left and down the neck to the breast of the Bufflehead. This dimmed the colours and produced a definite line going up the neck which has separated bright vibrant colours from ones which are dull. NIKON D7000 150.0-600.0 mm f/5.0-6.3 1/1600 sec F8.0 400

Suggest to make the background even darker to reduce the noise/texture and to remove the black triangles from each corner which do not add anything to the image.
