Nice clean image. Did you use some noise reduction? I have noise noise problems with this camera at ISO800 and up.

Thanks Mario.  I don't recall using NR on the bird; I usually do some on the BG.  For me, the D500 is the best body I've owned with regard to noise, but then I've never owned a full-frame like the D5 which I'm sure is superior.  If I expose a bit to the right I find I can go up to ISO 2500 without a significant noise problem sometimes, but certainly not always.

Striking composition, with the diagonal line of the wings, and beautiful evening lighting, Bill.
