Nice pose. Again I am seeing smoothing on the rear flank and the neck. The stick pointing at the bird's neck is a problem but would be easy to lose.

Hi David, well timed for the landing pose, and I like the show of the wings. I like the smooth upper BG.

Thanks to all for comments and suggestions. Went back to the raw file and those areas you mention Artie are smooth due to a large crop (about 35% of entire frame for both posts of this bird). At 400mm this stand was far away. The detail just isn't there. I was actually surprised I got as much as I did. Also, I have yet to study your and Arash's guides in detail (my bad, I do have them and I will). I am still spending more time learning the body and settings I should be using. Getting back on the bike after 10 years and with mirrorless it's a little different experience. Again, thanks to all for the comments and help.
Peace,
David

I am with Artie on this. The whole bird is soft, which I would bet is from motion blur not from the crop. I would recommend trying to get closer to your subjects and paying special attention to making sure you have a fast enough shutter speed to get a sharp file. Sure it takes practice and time to learn a new system, but no sense in cropping and processing a file if the raw is not tack sharp.
