Outstanding work Socrate, thank you for continuing to share your images and experiences with both the 7D Mark II as well as the new 100-400L Mark II. I have to say that your contributions (as well as those of Mitesh) are single-handedly keeping me intrigued about the 7D Mark II.
May I ask what ISO the images in your last post were taken at? In addition, would you mind sharing if you used any localized noise reduction in your post-production (with the bird masked from the noise reduction)? If a PM response is preferred so as not to cloud this thread, that'd also be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance,

Thanks for the kind words, Kevin. All the images posted in both posts where taken @ ISO 400 and f/8. I do most of my editing in ACR and used the Detail Panel in ACR with these these standard settings (Detail and NR) unless the image is very noisy, in which case I increase the Masking and Luminance:
- Amount: 25
- Radius: 0.7
- Detail: 0
- Masking: 10
- Luminance and Luminance Detail: 20
- Color and Color Detail: 20
Just dusting off the image a bit
These setting are applied to the whole image
In PS, after resizing for the web, I use an action for sharpening which applies two different sharpening to the whole image and that I can adjust with the opacity slider. I didn't need to mask the bg on most of these since the little sharpening wasn't showing much in the bg.
The lighting condition in those images were very good and helped with the clarity and sharpness (and the editing).
For noisy images, in PS I use Topaz De-Noise on the subject and Noiseware on the bg.
Hope this helps
Socrate
