The detail, especially in Nos. 1 and 4, is spectacular. Maybe you should take the 300 out to play more often!

Nice detail from the unassisted 300 Birdie... hopefully the 500 comes back from Nikon better than ever.

#1 is the standout for me, love it... well done as always.

Hmmm these are striking me in different ways Birdie

Just gonna call it like 'I' see it...........
#1 looks too 'brittle' to me. Lots of details for sure but just appears a bit harsh to me in a strange way. I want to like it but it is a little 'crisp' for me?
#2 didn't quite nail the focus, some noise showing in blur of wings, could make them softer to enhance the blur

#3 looks like shadows were opened up too much, details in that area are not crisp, a bit noisy, not a good point of focus that I see
#4 looks like you had to push the processing a lot, and I understand your goal. Not a great pose for me.

I guess I am the one that you get 'nits and crits' from today

But then again maybe .................my new glasses are seeing more

Terrific shots Birdie,

I'm going for no.1 as the pick, you captured some tremendous detail in that image.

Birdie, I'm going to disagree and agree with Karl

#1 is stunning. I think the problem today is your getting excellent resolution and not everyone is used to seeing such resolution. If you had enough pixels on that bird, you could turn the background into gray and hang it on the wall.

#2, I agree. Way too much noise in the wing. I know the standard practice is to remove the noise everywhere except for the feathers but sometimes that doesn't work, especially in the light greys where the noise is obvious.

In any case, overall great work. I need one of these huge megapixel cameras
