While there is a VERY slight difference in head angle on the shots, I prefer the first shot, possibly because I like the wing position better in that image. As Joel mentioned, a touch more contrast or the selective use of NIK’s Detail Extractor might enhance the image; as it is, I love the color, light and muted background.

I’ve devotedly using Topaz DeNoise AI for a couple of years and in routinely doing comparisons with standard, clear, low light, and, when ISO > 25k, extreme noise, I find that 90% of the time clear gives better results with the detail, even when with ISO > 3500 or more I need to move it to high on noise and sharpness to from the model settings.
