Sharp details and great DOF, the quality for the 5D3 at ISO 3200 is amazing.
Especially like the water course setting, well done Simon! :toast:

The bird is extremely well done, with good detail and control of light. I like the habitat BG. The specular highlights below and behind the bird could stand a little taming.

Well done in getting this Interesting shot of a bird I have never heard of. From the iso and dull light it looks like a difficult shot, way to go.

Always tricky to capture good shots in low light, but you have done very well indeed here, Rob. The 5D3 has done you proud re the minimal noise.

Just enough light on the bird to make this work nicely. Interesting, almost upright pose from it. Sharon

Lovely photo Simon! Nice pose and man, there must've been no light in there.

I used the 5D3 a few times and found ISO3200 quite good too! :smile:
