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!!!!

Can you share the content of the email ? It will be interesting to know what is the issue

Nice pose and nice light. Really diggin those background colors here. Detail looks quite good as well.

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.
