Photoshop - BG noise removal

A shot of outstanding beauty, beautiful colours, sharp details, very well composed.

BG noise: Could be that my large flatscreen is very merciless when it comes to noise, and CRTs are a bit softer and therefor more tolerant. I have done a quick workshop to reduce the noise at the BG I can see on my screen.

1. Noise removal selectively on BG
2. Some noise still remaining: Selective scratch and dust removal r=2 on BG, carefully avoiding to get in touch with any contours of the insect.

Cleary visible difference for BG on my screen - for technical reasons it would be interesting to hear from you if you see a difference, too.

Thank you, and best regards.

With the aim of balancing the light better and correcting OE of the butterfly:

Used "burn" tool to retrieve the detail in the butterfly's wings and body.
Adjusted "shadows" setting (+50%)
Masked background and ran noise reduction.
Slight crop.

Hello Goutham,
Thank for message. You see, I asked about reducing of noise, because I see it on your nice photo (especially on green areas of background). It can to appear after adding sharpness, I think. And as I would wish to see your photos more perfect, I want to tell you about other method of reducing noises. Usually I use hand-made way, with blur tool, or gaussian blur on bottom layer and eraser. Also recently one of TN-members advised me to try program NoiseWare, it free in internet too. And at last, I want to post you WS where I just quickly use this both methods, and hope you will like result without this terrible grains :-)
Best regards, and wishes of new beautiful photos,
Elena

Hi, the background was noisy on this so I did the following in Photoshop: Used the magic wand tool with a tolerance of 105 to select everything but the Lizard and apply NeatImage to remove the background noise. Hope you like the result.

Levels, noise reduction.

1. Adjust input levels histogram (mainly in mid range) to bring in detail in wings.

2. Select background. Noise reduction @3 pixels, adjust levels a little to separate background from antennae.

Just returned to post to you my variant with some changes, hope it will interesting for you. Here I crop a bit. Then work with levels, curves, saturation, sharpness and blur tools in Photoshop7.0. What do you think?
Regards,
Elena

Mask right-hand butterfly, adjust levels histogram slightly from LHS to recover wing detail.
Select background, run noise reduction @3 pixels.
