Thanks 
On this one,
I was able to fix my poor focus on the red panda. I initially tried Nano Banana, but the result wasn’t great. It was barely deblurred. The difference was very, very subtle. So,
I used Subtle Redefine with Prompt instead and finished by scaling with Wonder 3.
The difference is striking. In some cases, Reefine Subtile with prompt can work wonders to deblur photos with poor focus.
New photo taken 3 days ago of a magpie to test my new purchase. A new Neewer LS-83 telephoto lens that triples the 5x optical zoom of my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, offering a 15x optical zoom.
I enhanced the photo with a first pass of Wonder 3 without scaling. Then I used a little Hypir AI and then Gigapixel Redefine Subtle with prompt to improve some details of the feathers, and finally the last pass with Wonder 3 in Upscale mode to the 50-megapixel resolution.
In the picture with the magpie, I like how the background has been cleverly adjusted to the magpie. The magpie now stands out very well. Was this intentional or a side effect?
That’s intentional. I did it with Adobe Camera Raw using the AI "Lens Blur" filter. It simulates a realistic background blur, and you can easily adjust the strength and depth of focus. It gives an effect similar to a camera with a very very big telephoto lens a long range.
Swan: Among other things, a couple of swans appeared again on the nearby pond. They are not too shy, so one of them swam some 10m to me and let me take pictures. From the beak around her neck she had a long stalk of something that she picked up while diving for food. I tried to remove it with the proven Nano Banana 2, using the prompt The long stalk in the beak along the neck must be removed. And it was indeed removed. The rest was done by Topaz cloud Standard Max 4x: 
Nice photo. The water color has changed a bit, but it’s still pretty. It’s not just the stem that’s been removed. The little water droplets that were beading on the feathers have also been removed.
Quick pro tip. If you have editing software like Photoshop, don’t hesitate to combine the best parts of the original and the edited version. That’s how I work 
.
Yes, I just tried removing the stalk and sharpening it a bit. I have a lot of swans now, so later.
I mainly wanted to capture the take-off or landing of some water bird. I managed to do it in one photo, but it’s lousy (it was more than 150 meters away). I tried cropping (from 6000x3368 pixels to only 896x503). The only thing that worked was the help of Nano Banana 2. Then I had to edit and enlarge it in Topaz Gigapixel and Photo (the tools are captured in the title of the resulting photo). In order for the result to fit in the comparator, I had to reduce it by 10%.
And the color of the water – in different places of the pond at the same time it is different, depending on what is reflected in it. So the many shades of blue, green, … 
. Those brown stripes are like islands of some kind of plants, floating on the surface. Result

Very nice improvements to the photo 
.
My ant colony is back in full swing, working hard on building and improving their anthill. I tried taking a close-up photo (6000x3368 pixels), cropping (517x443) with suitable mannequins, then pre-processing with Nano Banana 2, then Topaz Gigapixel Redefine realistic 2x (with prompt), and finally TG Wonder 3 4x. Ordinary forest ants (less than 8mm/1/3 inch long), but still very interesting

Swan on the hunt – not a very interesting photo, but I wanted to capture the swan diving headfirst for its catch. The majestic sweep of the water surface disappears and the swan uses its long diving neck.
The real water was not as bright blue as in the original (cropped), so I tried to adjust (even the whiteness of the swan was eventually reduced) to make it look more realistic. Of course, the monitor and the pond are different worlds, the monitor radiates, the pond reflects. But I captured the way the swan hunts. Nano Banana 2 (because of the feathers), Topaz Gigapixel Redefine realistic 4x, Wonder 3 2x, eventually ACDSee (color adjustment) :
The improvement is truly remarkable. The difference between before and after is enormous. Great job.
What you can do then is create a mask using your color balance filter, for example, and subtract the swan from the mask. This way, you only affect the rest of the image for color correction .
Some enhanced photos of a crow.
I used Wonder 3 + Gigapixel Subtle Realistic Redefine with Prompt + Flux 2 Klein 9B and a final pass with Wonder 3.

Shot taken with my smartphone + Neewer LS-83. Range of the photos here at +/- 15-20 meters.
Ants: Thanks. It was quite laborious, but tempting.
Swan: You’re right, but the white color in the photo was too saturated (similar to the blue of the water). The swans here are not so snow-white, especially their necks (the pond does not have crystal clear water). I wanted to make the feathers visible and the swan was probably overexposed.
Your crow: Beautiful, I love this type of pictures. The black color really came out as “alive”. And that first picture, that’s called a lucky hand! Quite obviously, the crow was posing as a fashion model or top actress – according to the series of pictures.
To be honest, this crow comes to my lawn very often. At least two or three times a day. I took advantage of my new smartphone lens to photograph it 
.
On this one, just one pass of Wonder 3 on 1 scale and one pass of the standard model was enough.
