Polly needs a cracker
The bird reminded me of a computer game "Monkey Island 2", where one challenge is that the player has to feed a parrot to solve a riddle (and this bird shouts "Polly needs a cracker").
The image was taken in the zoo of Münster inside a house at ISO 6400. I find it quite remarkable how well the image turned out after post processing with relative low noise.
BTW - Most of the post processing was done with Affinity Photo (as some of my later images). Why Affinity Photo and not Photoshop? I "own" PS and it is a very good program, but I don't like the subscription model of Adobe. Affinity Photo is quite cheap (at the moment a discount of 50%) and I was curious how good it is. My conclusion is, that it is almost as good as Photoshop and in some special cases even better (e.g. file size is often smaller) and I don't feel so dependant on Adobe. Additionally I like to support a smaller company which offers such cool products for a low price.
