I took this a few months ago at a large rookery east of Galveston at High Island. Taken with my Canon R and a Tamron 150-600mm G2 and the Tamron 1.4 TC. I ended up cropping in a decent amount to focus on the adult and the 2 chicks. Overall I've been happy with it, there is a slight loss of quality typical with a teleconverter and while the Tamron lens is pretty good it isn't probably as sharp as a Canon L lens would be.

Today I killed some time playing with the new Topaz Photo Ai. I imported the image and let the software do it's thing and overall I am impressed. Photo AI did a good job of increasing sharpness without adding weird artifacts, took the noise down a bit (wasn't very bad to begin with). I also increased the image size by about 8% as I need it bigger for a contest I am entering.
