The compression kills these. Flickr only seems to give me the option of sharing at 1024 pixels. If there is a way to link from Flickr that allows for a larger image, I'd love to know.
Otherwise, a couple of fun notes. The hawk flew out of a tree when I didn't even have my lens up. I just put the camera to my eye and luckily had the bird in the frame. The Z6iii + 400mm S worked some magic to get the bird in focus.
Also, the yellowlegs was shot at 800mm (400mm + 2x TC). That combo is allows for extremely fast AF and has sharpness to spare. This new Z gear continues to blow my mind.
