    Super shot wonderful details, the Jay is well delineated from the perch, my only slight reservation is the salmon pink colouration on the cheek and neck, I appreciate it can vary but it looks just a little saturated to me.

    Might be Luminosity Jon, rather than Saturation, but hard to tell on the laptop currently and not back until next week, but thanks.

    I like these types of yard setups, always fun to create. I like the richness of the colours. For me though, I would have preferred the jay to perch higher on the log - on top of the moss carpet or the higher piece at right. Sounds like these guys behave just like our Blue Jays over here!

    Hi Dan, agree on your summing up, the image would be enhanced if the subject was higher up, thanks.

    Lol Volkan, in low light the 1DX MK3 is stonking, the R5 is getting pushed, but give it some decent light and this too will deliver ‘razor’ sharp files. Hope you are enjoying your new toy.

    I will be in touch next week when I’m back, hope you are feeling better.

    Steve, I appreciate your help. You recommended the R6. I bought the R6. I haven't done much testing in the field. It felt like a toy but better than 1DX II. Time will show us. my health is good :) you are also good master

    The R6 is great Volkan, just a mirrorless 1DX MK3. Good choice because of the better ISO range over the R5, you can push things too and if need be, have a lower SS compared to the R5.

    Just experiment and push the camera, get to know the Positives & the Negatives, but practice, practice, practice, however getting the camera set up is key to how you shoot.
