I haven't been able to process my photo of that Point Pelee Red
Breasted Grosbeak in a way that pleases me completely. The original was
underexposed by about a stop because I had thought I was going to be
shooting him against leaves rather than open sky. (I should have locked
in a manual exposure.) Anyway, i've had a tough time pulling detail out
of the black feathers without causing a lot of noise and general
ugliness. I went back for a second and third attempt. I think the new
one is a bit of an improvement even though there is less detail. Am I
right?
Here's the original, which I posted a couple of days ago:

Here's the new version:

Should I delete the old version, the new version or both?
