    Seems a bit soft. Was it a big crop?

    Great action. The noise is a bit distracting to me.

    Repost looks better in regards to noise reduction.
    IQ due to crop is what it is...
    Although a small detail, I think the image would be better if the bird's nictating membrane
    were not down...this species has such striking eyes anyway....
