What a great catch. Great contrast of bird against snow.
Did you do some dedicated pp n the bird here?

Hi Max, thank you for the compliment!
So, I used Luminar Neo to process these images. All I did was put the "Enhance AI" slider to 50 and that was the result!

Great pic @Cog, just wonderful
Even though with a Sony wouldn't have expected 1/800 to be enough here

No, 1/800 if definitely not enough, especially considering I was using a 1.4x extender on my 200-600mm lens. It was getting dark pretty fast already, and I was too excited trying to get close to the bird. So I just forgot to increase ISO and shutter speed. I had to enhance the image in PP. I still like the picture, though

No, 1/800 if definitely not enough...

But the EXIF on flickr with 1/800 was correct, wasn't it?

For sure you can. And maybe one sees some PP on the full resolution, but not here, for sure.

Yes, the exif shows actual numbers. My point was that I'd prefer a bit shorter shutter speed here.

Hey it doesn't mater what you did in PP (it was the main reason why the digital take over the film back in the time - the PP (plus the perspective of evolution)! Despite the miserable resolution (cameras with just few MP... when the good film digitized was about 15-16MP!). Just keep the things real (not like the landscape photogs - honestly I like some of their interpretations but they look more like ScF than the real live.
The bottom line is - I like that shot!

This gif makes me feel a little seasick. It maybe better to have the bird in the same position.
