    Nice.. nice Bg, 1/2000 at iso640 @ 7.1?
    Just wondering?
    Could have been 1/3200 @ f5.6 @ iso800 or so.
    I don't usually question techs on a nice photo, but could be sharper and next
    time I would change the settings.
    f7.1 did you no good on the far wing anyway, I always question shooting anything other than wide open
    on flight shots, it doesn't get you much DOF and is just slower and noisier.

    Hey Dan, I agree. Was shooting a Wood Duck mom with three chicks on an island and the Avocet flew by (Wood Ducks coming later).

    I have lots of 1/3200 shots that aren't this sharp. But yeah, law of averages.

    Very Nice Image. Like the colors I am not sure on the wing position on the left side.

    Agree with Dan's point on going for higher shutter speed.

    Hi Brian I like the backdrop, sits well with the subjects colour palette. I could also see an option where the subject slight higher in frame. Agree on the techs, but understand why.

    A question and don't ask me why I'm asking, because I cannot honestly give a good reason how it came about, and it's something I have never seen before... I'm only flagging it up incase there is something wrong with the camera as it's a recent acquisition. It's less evident in this image, compared to the previous one, but the file appears to have 'imprinted' image of what looks/appears like the sensor, it's some form of grid. I can't believe it's from any Processing software, so I can only think it stems from the time of capture. Not knowing Nikon I have no clue, Arash might? I will drop you a line.

    Cheers

    I said, don't ask Brian , an absolute fluke, but as I said, I'm only flagging it up incase you have an issue with the new camera, as it's something I have never seen before!!!!

    def better BG than the last one,both wings could be a bit lower but not bad as is, I wish the far wing had cleared the beak though. processing looks good maybe a touch less contrast, a touch warmer and a touch lifting of the far wing shadows where it's a bit blocked

    Artie, its no big deal, I thought there was a form of grid imprinted into the file, something I had never seen before, it resembled for a better description a sensor. A very quirky phenomenon, certainly nothing I have ever seen in 10 years plus with LR, and was concerned it could be a camera issue. I suggested Brian contact Arash, he thinks it’s a LR artifact, case closed.

    Thanks all.

    Steve, Ari said, "Looks like Adobe LR artifacts, we had a thread on this a while back I think". He could not find the link.

    Does not appear something to be concerned about.
