Really good. Love the little face below the jug, it complements the halos/heads in the reflection nicely. Well worth the struggle to get the composition.

Just a minor niggle - a small rotation anticlockwise, please, to make the corner of the walls vertical. My eyes seem to be rather sensitive to that sort of thing.

+1 for me as well, agree with Steve

Timing is rather good too...... Slimbridge?
Yes, Slimbridge, it did get overrun by ankle bighters from midday yesterday so as the light was poor I came away, but a good 2.5 hours practice

I prefer to see a bit of blur in the wings of a bird in flight that's flapping its wings (as opposed to gliding).Steve
Morning Steve, The birds in most cases weren't gliding but I know what you mean, I do prefer the props on aircraft to be blurred.

It does get a tad tricker, the one below shot at 1/200 sec to blur the wings with a K3iii plus a 150 - 450 at nearly max extension and handheld

Love the shape of the birds and how sharp they are! The pigeon is awesome, can we see a mono version?
Hopefully you mean this one Gareth

2nd image for me, lovely light through the trees.

Shame on the BOP, more than likley a buzzard or perhaps a kite, the furry thing was prob a rat or a vole / mouse and maybe a snack for the BOP 😊

Congrats on the Bigma John, I ended up selling mine and went for the Pentax 150 - 450 instead.

The offer is still there should you wish to try it.

A long awaited trip due to recent work and weather combinations to our local WWT reserve this morning, sky and light not great, high-ish ISO ( 800 ) but a decent practice with the K3iii.

A selection of birds shot, from geese to pidgeons ( fairly fast and indecisive ) with a hovering pidg / dove about 100m away

To compliment Lubbymans comments as above, you prob wont notice much difference between 16mp and 20mp, you will notice the omission of an " Anti Alias filter " thou particularly in improved sharpness ( slightly ) and unless your shooting a subject with lots of horizontal lines you wont notice the moiré.

A K5ii imho is excellent at low light low noise photography where as the K3 / K3ii isn't quite as good imho
