I've made a note to explore David's work further when I return home to
my iMac!

Thank you for providing the route to find you, Davoud! :-D

Difficult, getting that close to a bird like those in the wild and
not spooking them.

Unless they are acclimated to people, or you use a long lens..

The images at the links you posted, Peter, are not a patch on the
quality of those photographs taken by Davoud (in MY opinion, anyway).

OK. You certainly are entitled to your opinion. Reasons for your opinion
would be appreciated.

I can’t speak for David and his opinion, but I have my opinion, and
observations regarding those three shots.

Starting with the Oyster catcher. At first I thought this was your old Oyster
catcher shot from a few years back, then I saw that this was recently
captured with the D500. The image quality (IQ) is awful, and that seems to be
a result of several things, including your usual crop, and poor focusing on
this particular part of your frame. If this is a demonstration of the IQ
capability of the D500, I am disappointed.

The hawk shot is just a ridiculously severe crop resulting in an image not
much better than a thumbnail. It hardly seemed worth posting. I certainly
have managed to wring out better quality images with my D70.

The Osprey is a great capture, but again suffers from your cropping, and
sharpening techniques in post. The edge halo detracts from the image just as
it did when you first shared it.

BTW: here is a D70 shot of Osprey with snack from 2004.

Your comments say exactly what *I* had thought - thank you.

Your link doesn't 'work' for me. :-(
