Great minds....
I like the new version, but not as a replacement to the original. It's 2 stories. Or one story and then wow what a fascinating little creature.

I am 100% in your camp re: Rules...
I tend to let the subject dictate where in the frame it wants to be.
These gulls are perfect for me.
Any images with live subjects, I check what direction the subject is looking and or facing. The more it's looking to the side, the more to the side I place it. Facing direct at me, it's going to be dead center.
The gulls here work well center frame. With subjects facing each other there's more balance center frame.
But if you look, the eyes, beak, head is still roughy on the top third.
Well done Stan.

I think it's a new feature on the R5. I played with it some last evening, and it's pretty cool. |

Thanks Thorro,
The original is just an uncropped version.
I will post originals going forward, but I'm a little concerned. My new camera is 45mp and scaling down images to fit the limits here will be an interesting exercise. Not so much with finished images as most of mine have a lot of pixels cropped away, not scaled away. |

You told to story of the camo much better than mine. Heck it took me a few seconds to even find it in the original image.
This is one of those where a 3 panel layouts would be great.
Panel 1: Yours
Panel 2: Mine
Panel 3: Way more cropped so you really get the detail of the butterfly.
So many stories to be told with that image.

Are you using Servo AF? Does the R have Animal and Eye tracking, or is that just on the new one? |

Just got the R5 yesterday and also popped for the RF 100-500 f/4-7.1 L IS.
OMW. I got the battery charged up and took some test images this morning. Color me impressed.
There's a lot to learn with the camera, but it's already sharper and better quality images than my 5d m4 w/70-200 mk III.
This may have been my best camera decision since the Digial Rebel so many years ago. |

Steve,
Excellent job even finding the flutterby in the rocks. It's amazing how well camouflaged it is in the rocks.
I think the only thing I would have done is to tighten the crop and move it up and right in the frame. He's facing toward the lower left seeming in my mind to be watching that black hole.
I tried a bit of a crop to illustrate my point and added a touch of sharpening in Photoshop (SmartSharpen 137%)

Stan,
A couple of stories here. Circle of life, nurturing young in the, but also of the refreshing of a birds plumage. Well done sir.
The focus appears to be just beyond the birds. I wonder if they moved their heads in the action of feeding after you established the focus.
May I ask what focus mode you are using. Did you say you're shooting Canon R?
