I'm of the opinion that it doesn't really matter. It's the OP's image and he/she can do whatever they want with it. But am I the only one confused as to how you can get a subject and a very distant background both in focus at 840mm ? Unless this was shot from about 400 yards away and cropped that sky should be a complete wash. Just asking.

Hi Gary, the shot is at 1260mm because in APSC everything else is real, just lights and shadows, nothing more, the Sony sensors are fantastic

Its definitely a beautiful image and composition but no, at 840mm & f/5.6 you wouldn't be able to get both the lion & sky in focus at that distance. However, you can easily replace the background sky in any image with the "sky replace" feature in PS with one of your own or one of the choices provided by PS. If that's the case, I would have used a gaussian blur or the de-texture filter on the sky beforehand.

Either way that lion image is amazing!
I'm fully aware of that tool. I would love to see this image without the added sky. The OP has some other images posted on the Sony FE thread and they're beautiful. It's a great perspective and a great subject but I find the sky in this image looking fake and distracting.

The Sony sensors are no doubt fantastic but they can't defy physics

I shoot with an APSC body and frequently a4 840mm. Even stopped down, the sky should be completely out of focus.
I have no problem with artistic manipulation of photos yet such art should be described as such rather than being passed off as close to out of camera.
Here is an image taken on an APS-C body taken at 840mm (the TC dose not appear in the EXIF). Look at the sky!

If someone asks you can simply say, yes, it is a composite. Then viewers are able to draw their own conclusions.
of course I said it, if it was mandatory I would have had no problem putting it in the description they are two shots taken at the same time together I think that each of us post produces the photos Thanks for watching Greetings
I have seen shots like this where a mono pod was used upside down, so the camera was close to the ground from a vehicle so you stay safe, and take the shot using a trigger

Thanks for the vision IndyFab, I shot from the bottom up, the subject was on a hill. Greetings!
