This is probably well known to regulars on this forum but curious what if anything you used to clean up the higher ISO shots, this is something I'm definitely trying to get better at and you seem to have it down.
That first shot is something else, absolutely perfect. I would kill to one day have a shot like that. What lens did you use for that bee shot? I assumed macro until I saw the focal length

Eye pleasing!!! beautiful treatment. I am surprised with your 12800 ISO images turning out superb!!! any tips? (Topaz suite?)
Thank you. I was on auto ISO . I noticed I had by mistake turned The EV dial to +2.3 Reminder to always check those dials. At any rate the subject was not underexposed especially since I was using spot metering (with spot attached to focus point) so easier to recover in post.
Yes, I used Topaz on the shot. I have both deNoise and Sharpen. I used sharpen AI first. Then did my normal processing. I Iam fairly certain I have also ran it through DeNoise to recover some of the detail.
Thanks Frank, but none of these were taken in the time frame for this assignment .

I use Topaz Denoise AI and/or Topaz Sharpen AI. I use it in Photoshop CC that way I can control with a layer what is going on.

Thank you for the kind words. I hope you get the shot you envision soon. Just takes lots of time spent waiting for them and then a lot of luck . I used the Sony 200-600.
