I like the wing position on this. Taken that my local wildlife refuge. A lot of activity on the day I was out there even though the light conditions were quite variable and not always beneficial. This is around 20% of full frame so not as large a crop is some of the other recent postings.
Wish I was closer.
Is this a composite: No
Iso-1600, 400 2X, F5 .6, 2500th, A7r4, handheld, 20 megapixels out of 61 or roughly 20% of full frame.
IQ is better on this one although it seem a tad dark? 20 mp should be plenty…
Why did you switch from Nikon?
Also Wigeon does not have a D in it for sticklers…
Good detail. The background definitely speaks to where you took the shot.
Yes, it’s a tad dark and the light was not so good; cloud shade on the Wigeon. I use dictation software and it doesn’t always get the spelling correct.

It looks better for me, bird pops better from the BG.
Thanks heaps for looking at it again!
Nice flight shot in a fitting environment. It is an improvement lighter, but maybe I wouldn’t go quite that far. Something looks a little sub-optimal but I’m not sure what. I’m curious if you lightened the exposure or brought up Shadows?
Both. It looks a little painterly to me. But remember, this is 20% of full frame.
I’d start hedging at maybe 5%. 
Brighter version appeals a bit more to me. Well done, these are fast flyers ! Cheers, Hans
