Cracking image Arash, love the detail in the bill & wing. The 'mid grey' backdrop really emphasises the plumage colour and overall palette.
I am curious as to how others see the brightness as ever since I calibrated the monitor on my Macbook Pro I have had the feeling that it is a bit too dark ...
Artie, from my perspective it's somewhere between the two, so not far off.

Nice frame of this skimmer the repost takes it up a notch. Would love to see if the Nikon can handle the high ISO's Like Canon did.

Thanks Artie, they look very close to me, the original looks just about right in terms of brightness on my 32" NEC, monitor screens will be a bit different...
John I didn't get your question, are you asking if Nikon high ISO is like Canon?
thank you all

The cloudy conditions have created great illumination across the bird including underside. I don't know the species so can't comment on the overall colour or brightness. Having said that, the original looked good to me but lifting the underwing in the repost also improves. That change has also helped the eye stand out a fraction more, I think. As for the pose and moment captured, it's up to the exceptionally high standards of all of your work.

Hi John
D5 IQ is similar to 1DX II, at very high ISO the D5 files are cleaner
D850 is a lot better than the 5D4 in terms of IQ, no comparison there....

Nice and sharp. Great wing position.
I see a sharpening halo in front of wing and head-easy fix.
I find the Nikon images "creamier and smoother" than the Canon images (not new, I have always seen this difference with Nikon and Canon). Not a criticism but an observation!

Thanks Gail I don’t see a halo on my 4K NEC. The output depends greatly on which RAW convertor you use BTW

I didn't spot it either but have looked again and thought I could see it so I downloaded the image and zoomed in in PSE. At first, I thought it might be an optical illusion but there's definitely a halo one pixel wide on the leading edge of both wings, below the first joint but it peters out gradually further along the wing's leading edge. Also apparent at the top of the head and above and below the bill. All academic though if most people can't notice it!

Hi Arash, I haven't look at this, but if you do see a 'halo' at a larger size whilst in Raw, it's probably just down to the Demozaicing, and the algorithm, anti zippering can diffuse it, but it's just highlighted after sharpening. Most times you see similar stuff on beaks ie a bald eagle on the curve, sometimes known as Zippering, Mazing, Stair casing.
Just a thought.

Great, that's simple then.
i don’t see a visible halo on this image as posted.
Nor do I, I guess it's only if you take it into PS is the haloing more noticeable.
Still a fine shot and kudos on the skill set.
