Well, perhaps but this is a superb image, in my opinion at least, it's spectacular and finely detailed, while you are complaining about some aspects, my only complaint is the 'camera shake' effect on the large tree in the background. That I find objectionable, never mind the bird, that's fine, look at the background. I assume it's a 'feature' of the PF lens causing this effect, I never seen this with conventional telephoto's, or never noticed it anyway... I imagine a quick application of a blur brush would fix it.
I think you are all too critical of the minutiae in these images while missing the 'whole picture' occasionally. My eye is drawn instantly to the apparent camera shake on the tree, which it obviously isn't!
As for enlarging it to A4, I just viewed it full width of my 27" iMac, the bird was 14" long from tail to tip of beak and it still looked superb. I guess that's twice to three times life size?
Hmmm. That's me told off.
I take your point....something else for me to bitch about....the branches. 😆
It seems like a rim lighting effect.
It's there on the nef file so it's obviously not software or processing related. Maybe it is an effect of the fractal lens resolving back lighting when out of focus? It's reminiscent of colour fringing without the colour.Ive just spent a bit of time looking back at my garden birds files and came across some that were perfectly alright. No sign of this edge effect.
I then looked at the exif ....and they were taken on the Fuji I sold.
Don't let JK see this post ....I will never hear the last of it.
