So I guess that new lens is working out for you? This looks plenty sharp, and it takes some skill to bring out this kind of detail with the subdued lighting.

A nice shot of this bird, Richard. Interestingly, the only place I've seen them was Arizona a couple of years ago. You got a really nice head turn and beautiful detail in the feathers.
It's interesting that you're trying shutter priority and auto iso. I've heard of people who like the auto iso, but I've never really tried it. Given your results here and the difficulty of early morning photography, it might be worth thinking about.

Charlie:
the lens is great, very sharp, and I've had little trouble adapting to it.
Dennis
I was slow to adopt auto ISO. What makes it work for me is the D7200 has good noise performance so I don't have to worry as much when I get beyond 800. Plus, the U1 and U2 memories of shooting parameters makes changing between two configurations as simple as turning one dial by one position.

Exquisite detail, as always, and very hard to believe it was shot through glass. Wonderful look at this pretty bird, who really looks like he sees you through the glass.

Great detail for shooting in low light and through glass, Richard. This is a species I would love to have in my files.
