I'm starting to feel more comfortable with the new 5D MkIII body. It's a lot more sensitive than the old XTi. And while I think that while this image could use a little more work, I'm pretty satisfied.

This is very good and I will need to get into super crit mode to offer any suggestions. The branches intersection the beak and head are nicely OOF but of course would be even better were they not there. A bit of noise in the dark OOF areas.

Great feather detail and nice pose.

Thanks, Ben.

'A bit of noise in the dark OOF areas'...agreed, and a little selective exposure adjustment wouldn't hurt either.

I'm really starting to like the new 5D MkIII body.

With Ben.
Very good.
Please post a bit smaller. While I appreciate the chance to see the detail, I still have to reset my screen to both enjoy your image and easily read the text.

Eric,

I'm seeing a lot of noise in the shot - did you shoot really high ISO or have to boost exposure a bunch? Also not as sharp as I'd prefer.

Mind sharing the EXIF?

Great pose and pretty bird.

Cheers!

Jeff

not as sharp?
I'd be more than happy with this level of sharpness and detail on any of my bird images

On my cell it looks *fantastic*, but on my monitor it's pretty grainy/noisy to a point of some loss of detail.

Maybe I've got something weird going on?

Dunno.
I am on a high end monitor. The noise is there but overall....and if it were printed the noise would disappear.

High gamut IPS here too. Didn't know that you could print with this noise. What sizes are you talking about?

Its about 15 inches wide on my NEC 2690. I doubt the noise would print at that size and that would be pretty big for a 8-9 inch long bird.

Different pose, same exposure, extra noise reduction.

I like Peter's rework of your second shot the best - I think it improves on many of the gripes I had with the first shot and the background is much more suited to the blues. Additionally I think the OP is overly contrasty compared to the second shot.

Cheers!
