Mute Swan

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

I made this image in St George Ut a Couple of weeks back.
I really like the noise level in Z6ii absolutely minimal to no noise at high ISO.
I do miss the reach of D500 (which I replaced with Z6ii)
I wish I had taken this image with a bit of fill flash.


Nikon Z6ii
Info 1/160s f/11.0 ISO1600
Manual Mode, Matrix metering

Post Processing:-
Slight Cropping
Raw processing with C1P
Cloned few spots
Neat Image NR
Sharpen for presentation

Let me know your thoughts and comments.


Thanks
Krishna

Very nice Krishna. Really like the delicate texture in the whites, the coloured BG compliments really nicely. Would like to see more of the eye.

Krishna:

Agree with Paul's comments.

The fine textures keep the eye moving about the bird. I would prefer a sliver more room below if you have it.

I have the Z6, and the ISO performance is outstanding. I still use my D500 for the reach and faster AF, but for closer, slower motion stuff, prefer the Z6.

Cheers

Nice pose on the swan. I love that color in the water. Detail looks very nice.
