Or this one in same position?

Have to say downsizing these files for the forum destroyed quality! I must try other methods to get smaller file sizes or use Flickr.

I've checked the settings on the camera and they are standard/ default contrast.

I wonder if the fresnel lens is introducing more contrast?


I've not upped contrast on original pasted imageso.O

Eric I use shadows/highlights in Photoshop and adjust with midtone contrast. I was naughty and gave the crow a quick tweet!

It's the new 300mm f4PF with 1.4tc on D500.

Birds were about 50ft away....some cropping and file size reduction to be accepted by forum limits

I've been commenting with Graham and others that the boketh on this lens is not soft and smooth. In fact it renders grass and fine branches rather strangely ....if I didn't know it was a fractal lens I would have actually said the grass looks like a fractal effect.

It may handle bright sunshine differently as well?o.O

That's interesting Graham...because I find that image too contrasty. :lol::banghead:

None of my images have been near photoshop. In fact they are just imported onto my iPad, cropped and some tweaked slightly in Snapseed. So they are very close to 'out of the camera'.
