Description

I went out yesterday in search of subject matter to field test my Z9 firmware update’s ability to recognize, and AF bird’s eyes. I found a flock of honkers bathing at a local lake and managed several shots, all with sharp eyes. Here’s one.

Specific Feedback

Cropping?

Wow, Dave! Looks like the new firmware update worked! Great detail in the eye of the Honker. You’ve captured great motion/action and the composition works for me. Nicely done!

Nice, Dave. Looks like they nailed the firmware update and you nailed the goose. Great timing on the pose and the composition works for me.

I got several action shots of them cavorting and all of them had sharp eyes. T’was a good opportunity to field test update 4.1. Big thumbs up from me, so far.
