Excellent!.

I probably would have used the 105mm Micro because of the reproduction ratio/ However, I have the 200-500mm also and you did very well.

You did very well. I'd also use the 105 lens. Don't have the D850 but have the D810. Enjoy your vacation here in the islands and you'll have plenty of excellent shots to take home with you.

Gorgeous shot! I hope you'll blow him up and stick him on a wall some place!

Interesting, such nearly "prime" colors. How did you process to the JPG you actually posted? On full zoom-in it pixelates with remnants! It started at a whopping 52.9MB from a D850! Oh, I see it is a 2.98MB JPG. I don't usually go so small, leave them at 5 - 8 MB from 18 to 25MB RAW original's from my several 14 to 24MP APS-C cameras. I don't get that sort of processing / JPG noise. Why did you?

Pretty cool. I have the D850 and 200-500 as well as a Nikon 105G. I might have used the D500 for this shot.

Lamiaceae .., I first placed the SD Pro card into the MacBook Pro to take a look ... I don’t have a reader for the New XQD card which I wanted to insert in the MacBook..but no way to do that ..so luckily I had the SD card as a duplicate in the camera .,, anyway .., I did no processing on th MacBook ..I just looked at the data .., I’ll fully process after the XQD reader arrives .., so I processed everything on my IPADPRO which said sorry.., we can’t process this over 20 mega pix ... so I did a simple processing ..

The actual that will go on canvas (I have a client $ already ) will be fully post processed direct from my XQD card into my MacBook Pro .

So basically what you see posted is a simple preview ...glad you liked it ..

That's a nice close-up (albeit cropped), but not a macro! If I wanted to shoot a macro, I'd be using a macro lens!
