Brian the R5MK2 will be launched way before the R1, watch for around May 23 for announcements on the R5….

A version with some touches on the darks (more light-handed)....

The bkg for sure, Steve, can be a matter of taste. Comments noted, ty.

So true Andreas. One day hopefully we'll have a stacked sensor/global shutter that will do away with this. For competition or print, couldn't agree...

:cheers:

Andreas, we've seen this species a fair amount but it doesn't really get old. That said, the snowy perch on this one is super sweet. Love it. ...

Understood. Personally, this version is very engaging and pleasing!

Thank you so much Andreas, I'll certainly experiment with the vignette for a bit of 'drama'. Got another similar image I think I'll post in...
