Re: Unusable images with Canon R5 and 100-500mm RF lens

ok folks. Thanks for all the thoughts so far. This is the unedited version.  I think the suggestion of noise reduction software may be the issue.  I don't do much processing at all and only have photoshop, lightroom and was trying DeNoise, but admit I've never used it before and put it on an auto setting.  The noise is horrible, and sadly this trip was the first time I used the R5 on a regular basis.  Typically, I'm guilty of underexposing, causing additional noise when I try to lighten shadows, so was trying to overexpose a bit w/o blowing out highlights.  It was dark and raining, I knew I needed at least f9 to get the three bears as they changed positions, and faster shutter speed because the cubs had been playing.  I honestly don't remember using the 100-400mm lens on this trip, but I may have for a few images while I let someone else try out my 100-500.  I'll check more of the images too, but I'm thinking it was the noise reduction software.  In this image, the cub's face (on the right) appears sharper but horrifically noisy.  I hope I will be able to salvage them.  Thanks to all who are taking the time to try and help.
