A technical comment. I see some horizontal stripening and a lot of noise in de dark parts of the bird, due to the asa 800?

This recovered image of a beautiful Philippine endemic captured in a good pose replaces the Whiskered Tree-swift in the Top 25 list. Originally shot at ISO 800, my flash failed to fire for some reason, resulting into a severely underexposed photo. I pushed the exposure in post-processing by 4 stops to ISO 12,800, did some noise reduction and USM, and salvaged the image.
