I struggled with these Osprey photographs. Although the images are cropped they are still shot at 1200mm ISO 6400. I need the high ISO in order to freeze their movements at such a long focal length. Unfortunately this creates a spray of noise all over the image and especially in the background sky. Removing all this noise creates a pastel painting like effect on the photo which although not unattractive is unrealistic. I just have to get closer to improve the quality of the images.
