I had to do a double take... great timing and composition
Thank you very much!
Yeah, it's a bit of a tricky image. I actually sold my 200-600mm recently, as wildlife / bird photography isn't my main aspect and as I wanted to afford other lenses. Well, nothing really is. I photograph a bit of everything and keep wanting other lenses. A bit of a gear head, hehe. I'm going to get in to bird photography again for sure once I have saved up. The weather is pretty boring here in Denmark at this time of the year anyway (especially after a long day of education), and there isn't really much wildlife here (I just visit some parks). Whether it will be a Sony, Sigma or Tamron lens, I'm not so sure. It depends if Sigma or Tamron will make something interesting. A 150-600mm or 100-500mm would make more sense for my use, as I will use it for both landscapes and bigger birds. For this, I could also get the Sigma 100-400mm C, and as I often can get close to these herons, it might be fine. It's also not that expensive, but I might just try it soon (once I have sold a lens or two) and go for something else later on if I need the reach again. After all, I'm just a student enjoying a passion, so it takes a bit to save up. Sorry for a bit of a long and off-topic response.

I know, I have been posting plenty of falcon images, including those of in-flight but I do have plenty... . And yet, here is another set of a female falcon in-flight ...

More fun with Mallards... I've become a fan of these often forgotten birds and the beautiful colors they can exhibit. These were all taken with the A7R4 and the 200-600 G, mostly at 600mm. These are from 2 days ago in mid afternoon. Varying degrees of crop, but nothing extreme. That 61MP gives a lot of leeway if you see something in PP that makes more sense than the originally framed shot. Shot in RAW, processed initially in DxO, and finished in Photoshop.
