That's a stunning image, Paul!
I like the crispness of the front part of the image, and I do not notice
any "practical" noise there.
But what nudged me to respond here is some thoughts about the background.
The noise on the green in the background distracts a bit.
I was wondering if some sort of mask (on the background, maybe chosen
with the magic wand in PS) +smoothing/denoising, or what I would call
"soaping it" (to have less detail), or even "defocusing" it would produce
a better background.
I've had some photos where I was considering and trying some similar
treatment of the background, - with a different level of success.

Thanks Dan. Yes, I only mention the noise to preclude comments belaboring
the obvious. :-)

Marvelous level of detail!
Overall, a charming image. The noise seems only to affect the
background,
and does not at all detract from the effectiveness of the work.

At dusk in the backyard. Yeah, it’s noisy. It’s an ISO 18,000 photo at
dusk. But to my mind, the detail more than makes up for the noise,
which is
mainly restricted to the out of focus elements. K-1 with the D FA
