Thanks Sonny!
You've got pretty good chance to get it during AW even cheaper than they usually are from Birddog. I've got 24-120VR and 80-400VR and they worth every cent I paid for them

Hlop - very nice work
I also agree with you about the 70-200 and 80-400VR's. I'm not getting rid of either.

This is a beautiful shot.. my fiance's parents love parrots and she said they'd love this as a print... could i organise to buy this off you as a print?

Aw... you caught me unaware ... Don't know what to say ... Probably something like "Make me an offer"

My first impression - it's very clean for ISO800! Then I see the feathers - while the main spikes are still there, it's kinda lacking in finer details. I'd like to see a less noise removed version, preserving the feather details and perhaps along with the noise too. It's looking very Canonesque in its plasticity.

There are 2 things I really don't like - noise and CA. That's why I removed noise with neat image. Anyway, I'll try noise-removal-less version tonight if you wish to see it
It's looking very Canonesque ....
Don't swear on me, mate

Especially for pure and only Onyx
No noise reduction version:
P.S. I applied color aliasing removal to make noise pure colorless but didn't remove noise itself

Awesome Mikhail, wow I feel so special you made that version on my request.
The bit of grittiness IMO has injected life into it.

That's a fantastic shot Mikhail... Where was it taken?
I too prefer the second shot... It has a little more life in it...
