A technical question. I notice that your camera setting was ISO 10000 and your Fstop was F10. For the purpose of producing the cleanest image possible OOC, wouldn't you be better off setting your ISO lower and shooting at a wider F stop since you don't need a lot of depth of field? I assume the Canon R5 is full frame as compared to my micro four thirds Olympus camera. I never shoot higher than ISO 1600 as my results degrade considerably, but maybe it's just different with a full frame Canon.

Normally I would stop down, but there are several things at play here; only one of which was fully in my control.
Because I was shooting with the Canon 100-400 II (f/5.6 at the long end) and the 1.4x TC, I could shoot no lower than f/8. However, because I had lots of separation from the birds to the b/g, I stopped down because a) I personally am not a fan of backgrounds that are so blurred they look like a near monochrome studio backdrop and b) because I was shooting two subjects that were not on the same focal plane I wanted more DOF to ensure both were sharp.
I have my Auto ISO capped off at 12800 because that is the highest I am comfortable with the R5 combined with Topaz DeNoise AI, so while 10,000 is not ideal it does clean up quite well. I did try a few shots with even slower SSs and while they are sharp I wasn't as happy with the poses as I was with this one.
