Hi Alex

Those are mighty fine shots for a mere 200mm – the bird must have been buzzing you! It also looks like the Brahminy Kite is eating on the wing in #6?

A couple of the shots have a slightly “plastic” feel that I often get with the 400mm F5.6 when the bird only occupies a small part of the frame. I wonder if this is a result from using only a small number of pixels? The “plastic” look I get on those photos where the bird only fills a small part of the frame, sometimes reminds me of posterisation, where there are insufficient tones, leading to a banding effect.

Cheers

Dennis
