Blue Jay in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho
Here is a screenshot from Darktable that shows the changes and camera info. I brought up the blues to make him look more like he looked to my eye. He was also moving so fast he didn’t give me any time to change settings.

Taken with an Olympus FE-115. Focus isn’t quite right, but I don’t think it’s half bad for an old point & shoot 
. I’ll wait for a bit of sunshine and try the shot again.

Just a suggestion: Try shifting your position to the right so the branch in the foreground has less clutter in the background. It doesn’t have to be in the center. Also set your aperture as wide as possible (small number). If you do that (and nail the focus), you will have a very interesting shot.

Shot at the local speedway this weekend, just as a spectator through the fence.
1/60 to blur out the fence in front of me, and also to keep ISO native as micro four thirds isn’t flash once I start pushing it higher. The background blur is also nice, which I have been practicing at other events as well at lower shutter speeds.
Shot on Panasonic Lumix G85 with 100-300mm version2: 1/60, f/8.0, 200ISO, 170mm (340mm fullframe equiv)
These are all fairly default, except highpass which is 12% sharpen and 20% contrast, then blend mode set to overlay at 75%
RGB Curve is medium contrast preset.
Oh and Base Curve is Panasonic with 3 exposure fusion, bias at zero/centre.

“The Curious One”
I was casually taking pictures of my one of my cats, when she heard the shutter and came right up to take a close look.
Camera: Fujifilm X-A7
Lens: 15-45mm, F3.5-5.6 (The kit lens for that camera)
Settings: Shutter speed 1/180s; Focal Length 45mm; F5.6;
I used RawTherapee, but I assume that’s equally valid for this thread… see processing steps below.
