I crop like that all of the time, albeit from much larger filesYes. And these are sizeable crops, 5MP or so out of 33. I was surprised they ended up as good as they did.
These may hold up with even more. If you click through them to Flickr you can enlarge, they still look pretty decent.I crop like that all of the time, albeit from much larger files
Excellent. It's why I love the high resolution of the RIV. I have cropped to below 1mb before, and it's still looked fine. I think my Eagle is 1.2mb. I know it's not great, but it was half a mile away. That's quite remarkable.

Very nice. It's a Pectoral SandpiperBird ID anyone? Sanderling/Sandpiper of some sort?

He or she is lovely....but, at least on my monitor this image looks overexposed. Shooting white birds is definitely challenging, no question about that! What I've learned from experienced bird photographers over the years is that what is important is nailing the feather detail. Did you shoot this in RAW? If you have time to do so, are you willing and able to spend some time tinkering around a bit with the exposure and maybe as a result being able to bring out the subtle feather detail? Or if not, maybe next time you run across one of these guys try shooting him or her with a different exposure even if it feels too underexposed, just to see what happens in the resulting image.....
Just to add to Clix excellent advice, when you photograph a white subject like this, it's worth either using spot metering or highlight metering to keep things in check a bit more. You can also use exposure compensation in the minus to drop the exposure.Thank you, I will keep it in mind for next time. My chances of seeing him and his family again are pretty slim.
The kingfisher looks more like he is holding onto a outside car mirror at full speed.
