>>3560566>blownI don't think you know what that means. Check levels. If you mean that the sky is brighter than a dark brown bird, well... yeah.
>noiseRequired for the shot. Dark overcast, dark bird shot wide open. ISO had to go up. This is wildlife, not deck dwelling. Noise is fine, but unnecessary noise is bad.
>chrome absNo. There is some color noise from higher ISO but that's about it.
You can dislike the shot all you want (it's far from a favorite for me) but making shit up doesn't do you any favors. I'm going to assume you're Limpanon and put a 100% crop up against your "exceptional pin sharpness" deck photo. Feel free to compare highlights, noise, and chromabs full sized. Even if you're not Limpanon (unlikely) it's still funny. Play your cards right and maybe I'll even take a deck photo for a more direct comparison. ;)
>>3560601This anon gets it. When you're pushing equipment to its limits, the last thing you want is a downgrade.
