Beautiful image! Are you in Costa Rica again? How do you like the A1 vs. RIV for bird shooting?
Thank you very much, Brett! No, I was in Ecuador late April. Unless the targets were stationary, I used the A1 pretty much all the time. The AF performance of the A1 is definitely better than that of the A7r IV.
Joshua: That shot above looks very crisp and detailed for ISO8000.
Mudlake: This looks pretty impressive for a landscape shot wide open. We've certainly come a long way in lens technology in general, and great native e-mount glass specifically.
Ronny: The background and the color palette of the falcon's feather really make for a nice fit. Great find.
Tim: That's a wonderful series of waterfall shots you posted 2-3 pages earlier. I wish conditions would allow for me to go out and take some waterfall shots too.

First chance to take a sunset shot with my Alpha 1 + 14mm f/1.8 GM lens. It was a gorgeous display of colors staying lit for a good 15-20 minutes. I love this lens for being so distortion-free and light on the camera. No profile available yet but I found that careful leveling of the camera produces very nice results. A manual adjustment for corner vignetting is easy to do in LR. Cross-post with Preorder14mm GM thread
