Did you know that you should ALWAYS check your camera settings before you start shooting. These are from my first DSLR a D7200 and this is what happens when you leave Auto ISO turned on. Good photos other than...

See what you mean saferman. I thank the second on could be nicely cleaned up and made in to a pretty decent photo.

Not always! You'll miss out on some surprises life has planned for you.

Thanks for the comment. I'm not being a smart a--, I'm new at this. Why is the second one a better choice for continued processing? I thought the first looked a little better.

Well the bottom one which I am referring to on download had less noise and the bird and limb looked in pretty good focus, unless I am missing something.

Still learning that myself.

Excellent suggestion, I have made other mistakes that weren't disastrous but certainly not what I wanted.

I can't see where auto iso had anything to do with these images. Am I missing something?

Massive amounts of noise
And who can say that it was the best possible iso for the condition? Maybe, Maybe not.

First problem, not enough light, this was a time to go to a fairly powerful flash or lower the SS a lot. Still birds can be done at much slower SS - of course they might have taken off on you.
Next problem focus seems to be a bit off in both but more in the first.
Auto ISO is not the problem, in fact without it you wouldn't have gotten anything.
If I remember right when it came out the D7200 was reviewed/tested to do well up to ISO 1600 and fall off beyond that, you are beyond that.
Both are cropped to aprx 30% of the full frame so you either need a longer lens or get closer. The cropping alone will cause the image to look not sharp and rough like this, that with the high ISO noise cuts the IQ a lot.
A fair amount of improvement can be done with proper Post Processng but there is a limit to what PP can accomplish.
I use Auto ISO at least 90% of the time but when the ISO shown in the viewfinder gets out of hand I either get out the flash or subject permitting lower the SS and/or open up the f-stop.
