Love the head turn and the full wing span pose as well as the fine details.

A very nice image indeed, the details are excellent. I like the pose and the colours. Artie you mentioned a couple of my recent images have been a little dark in the mid range and I think you were right, however I look at this one and wonder if it is a little pale - does it need a little "pop" - maybe I am up the creek and it is the time of year and the plumage is pale or it is a juvenile??
I am not too sure about the strategy - are we really saying that a 5DSR is going to deliver better images with a shorter lens that a 5D III or a 1DX with a longer (L) lens. Wouldn't the longer reach and large pixels beat (optical quality)the smaller though many more pixels - it's a genuine question I am not sure what the answer is but I am sure that an answer would have to be cached in terms of "at this distance or this magnification".

Hi John,
First off I love the soft look and the soft light with the underparts lit by light reflected off the snow. But surely that is a matter of taste.
As for the image quality question, the answer is a resounding no. You need to subscribe to the blog... 5DS R images kill 1D IV, 1DX, and 5D III images. And for IQ alone at the lower ISOs they will kill most 1DX II images. But the 1D X III has tons going for it, at least on paper.
I own two 5DS R bodies and are using them exclusively right now. I have a 1DX II on order. a

Great image, especially the large crop version. On your blog it appears that you use the 5dsr / 600 f4 ii combo only tripod mounted for flight shots? How would that compare to handholding this rig?

Though some of my younger, hand holding studs would disagree, I believe that the images made on a tripod would be just a bit sharper. For me there would be no comparison because I can barely hold the 600 II for a few seconds.... a
ps: thanks!

Hi Arthur,
the eagles feathers look quite a bit like painted! I have some RAW files of such bird and the feathers really look like painted. Maybe I have a little 'painter' in the camera which I am not aware off.
The eagle in flight looks great looking down.
Have a great day
Ciao Anette
