    Default Incoming Osprey

    Finally got to take the New D500 out for its maiden voyage yesterday morning. Still need to get used to it but holy cow what an upgrade over the D7200 i was using before.

    Met Dan Kearl and another friend (we were more than 6 feet apart the whole time) at the nest at 6:30 Am and had to wait a bit for the action to start. Light was dark most of the morning but did lighten up a bit.

    Let me know what i could improve upon.

    D500 (feels good to finally type that)
    Sigma 150-600 C
    450MM
    F6.3
    1/2000
    ISO 2800

    Moderate crop, PP in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz Denoise. Some cloning around the nest to remove stray sticks and some garbage.

    Thanks
    Ryan

    Great action! The feet on the top bird are great. Composition is really nice, but the frame feels a bit cold to me. Maybe add a touch of yellow. The heads look a bit hot, but that's relatively minor.

    Wonderful in-coming flight pose with the nest and all. Agree to a bit more warmth.

    Colors look about right to me (I was there), I would add to the blacks nor maybe just drop the overall
    exposure a tad, whites are on the edge.
