Beautiful bird image of course. I really like the background water with the reflections, I think that adds an extra artistic quality to this image.

Great takeoff flight pose with the wings down and the trailing water droplets. The color and detail are top-notch.

Yes, I believe that’s what it said on the image info. I shoot with Auto ISO and I guess is increases and decreases in weird fractions. I guess it makes sense since you don’t want more than really needed?

Terrific flight shot, Hugh!
Looks like the 200-500 works for your BIF shots too.

Nothing short of amazing with my old D3. Absolutely no problem with tracking or focusing. But with the 1.4 it's completely useless as many have said. At least that's the case with D3. It seems a lot better with the D500 which I just received but haven't tested as yet. Looking forward to. Thanks for commenting.
