Let me know which is your favorite and why. All three are of the same bird, same pose and angle, but different settings and lighting conditions.

No cropping. I kept at original 20 mp size.

Canon 1DxII with EF 600mm + 2x TC

All at 1200mm

shade- 1/1000, f8, ISO 640

The first one has more natural looking color on the feathers. The best by far.

#1 is the most natural and also is more pleasing to the eye.

Thanks! I liked the bug on his head in the third one, but toy might be right.

Thanks, sometimes the most extreme is not the best.

I'm inclined to go with the #3. It appears to be the sharpest.

My vote is hands down for #1. The coloring is perfect and natural-looking. The lighting brings out the feather details. That's my 2 cents.

I'm always favoring the sharpest too. I like the bug on his head in #3
