Great bird, sharp, sweet light, and a perfect exposure. But the shadows make this on an insta-delete for me. with love, artie

DATPA. For a grey day, you did just great. The newer versions of PS have a neat Replace Sky feature. I have never used it. with love, artie

With the R5 you never want any blinkies in the sun. Ever. But it is likely that the IQ problems here are a result of poor post processing as the R5...

Repost is very nice... You are the master of this species...

I love both versions of this absolute sublime image. The rock rocks, the pose is perfect, and the soft light just glows. with love, artie

A bit of a pancake pose but I love the sharpness and the BKGR. On my one trip to Iceland I fanned on this species so I am envious. with love,...

Lovely and calling too. It was nice of him to stand on the mound. I like that you included the purple thingie in the LRC. And you confirm that this...

Hi Stu, What exactly is a portrait? Mr. Sump and Mr. Morris are confused. wtith love, artie

Thanks Ann and do agree not sure if the repost is better. Seems like I just bring back to much blue.

Took the exposure down and tweaked a curves adj. I still am getting that blue cast back when I take down the exposure.

The way the light hits the face is really nice. Perfect HA. Nothing you can do about the shadows. Gail

Ditto what Arash said! I like the cocked head, Gail

Pretty freakin' impressive! Tack sharp, beautiful light. How much of a crop? Gail

I like the framing you chose with the FG and the lovely flowered grasses... Also, the open beak, HA, and sharpness makes this image a pleasure to...

Beautiful perch and BG. Perfect clear view of the grouse. I agrre this looks too bright and would revisit the exposure/brightness/midtones. Love...

Hi Colin, IQ is lacking etc, ... Although we are not seeing solid IQ, are you happy with your images? Is there something we could help you with?

Good one Ann! I love the BG. The godwit is nice and sharp. Glad the bill just cleared the far wing. PP looks good! In a perfect world, the far...

Hi Kevin, I like the frame but it looks over exposed to me, would like to see a repost so the colors compliment the grouse.

Nice John love the colors feet and head and great details in the feathers specially the upper wing. Love the head turn and the sharpness. TFS

Well Arash you do have a fantastic image of a sandpiper now. Just thinking about how crazy fast they move really makes one appreciate this. Great...

Great image Brian and so happy for your family great news.

Paul I love this. My wish is you didn't have all the darks. Don't know if you can do anything with this. I'm not that great in PS. That beak and...

Colin my first impression was way too dark and looking at the shrub with shadows harsh light, but you have lost all the detail or lack of IQ on the...

Pretty fun stuff. Flying right into my room....excellent

No offense but how could a $4000 camera look this bad? Something is wrong.. You have not posted anything remotely OK with it.

Thank you all. You are all correct. At least part of the problem was that the D7200 was never very good at ISO 3200; my high ISO images improved...
