Hi @lesli3169455278gw ,

The first photo bird in the front is out of focus. If you wanted to focus on the bird on the left only, you should have taken the shot from another angle so that that bird is totally isolated from the other. With the overlapping tails, you needed to focus on the front bird with enough depth to include the bird behind.

There is a blue fringing that is more visible on the fencing.

The overall picture has a blue tint when zoomed.

Overall there is an issue with the sharpness. The face of the bird is not looking sharp. I get the impression of a painting when I look at it.

For the second picture, the blue tint and blue fringing that's visible on the wire applies to this picture also. In addition there's a shake. It's either the bird moved and your shutter speed was too slow to freeze the motion, or there was a camera shake.

Also you could have increased the depth a bit more to include a sharper tail.

When taking pictures in low light you have to adjust your camera exposure setting to compensate for the low lighting. 

Best wishes

Jacquelin

Hello,

In my view the images are a tad underexposed; you can add more light to them.

Take note of histogram:

 

You could shift it to the right:

And, take out the green; the photo has a green cast to it:

A lot of artifacts turn up at 200% that need fixing.

Thanks, was very low light right before dark and I'm not very experienced using Lightroom's Denoise feature. Will try again! 🙂

In the title you say photo and in your text you say image. Were they AI generated or photographed?
When looked at 200% they are not sharp and I see either rendering errors or post processing errors.

They were photos taken in very low light at dusk. Will try to correct and resubmit - thanks for the help!

In the first image, the turkey in the foreground is out of focus.
