Thanks for the kind words everyone. I had a lot of really nice, "moody sunlight" mornings and evenings for these

Great photos. I'd like to see #4 a bit darker so the backlit wings stand out more but excellent work!

A stunning series pf photos, Steve! Particularly like number 2, which has a 3D quality but the overall IQ is superb. Also,3 , 4 & 5 from the first set and 3 & 4 from the second set are standouts for me, but I'd be more than happy with any of them!

Thanks again for all the kind words

# 2 was the only one from my D810. I've been using it more for wildlife lately and I really love the files. Seems like they have better color than my D4. Even my wife sees the difference!

Great series.....#4 is my pick but thanks for sharing them all! I am headed to SC in 2 weeks so I can't wait to use my Nikon 300/2.8 with 1.7TC!

I like the curved form and lighting in #1. You have a great deal of depth and detail in the feathers on #2, the GBH on the limb. The pelican in #3 has great action, wonderful light, super detail and nice diagonals for interest. The wonderful glow in #4 is lovely, but I'd like to see that heavy dark rust coloration maybe tinted into a green. I think it detracts from the rich glow. The snowy in #6 has wonderful form and pose, and light as well. The separation between the pelican and background in #7 makes it stand out very well. The GBH in #8 with its neck stretched out and the wings quite flat gives it a not-often-seen perspective that I like. The focus, lighting and action on the Great Egret in #9 is wonderful. All in all some nice work.

1,2,4 and the 7 are absolutely stunning! amazing lighting!!!!

1,2,4 are prize winners fer sure, probably 7 too



i might crop the #7 pelican just a trace closer, maybe even #4 too but just by a few pixels.


(I would not change the processing for #4 at all, you'll lose that perfect glowing magic tone there.)
