William, now this is a sharp shot.

Your 7D2 should come close to this, maybe not as clean but close, don't give up on your money. Document the problem (with some test shots) and send it to Canon, if they don't fix it explore legal options to push them give you a new one (like consumer protection rules etc.). Returning it to the store where you bought it from is an option too, the professional stores usually care about their customers and may allow an exception in this case. Tell them you have explored everything and it doesn't work

Good luck

There are delightful finches in your neck of the woods! This guy looks perfecto deluxo and the background is both sweet and complementary. Also: it is grand to see his feet and nasty nails, or whatever they're properly called?

Before I read a Arash's comment I was saying to myself "now that's a nice sharp shot". Great looking feather detail,pose, perch and background. Keep that combo in your hands and it looks like you'll produce some sweet shots. Well done

Beautiful color and detail and I love the spidery BG.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Excellent IQ! Classic "field guide" image. I really like the BG with subtle oof branches to add interest. Well done!

[Joseph Przybyla]

Beautiful Will, sharp, nice colors. As Daniel wrote perfect field guide image.

[Raybel Robles]
