Nice. Did you use any noise reduction software?
33 value in LR noise reduction with the rest of the settings at default.

I'm with everyone else, that first one was great. The second was really good and could stand on it's own.

I ran the first through AI DeNoise and it cleaned it up a lot considering a jpg file. Interesting that you used spot metering.
I leave it in spot for the most part. I like to check a few places and set things. I like to know how hot or low the high lights and shadows are to determine what is most important to me.

Looks clean without magnifying them. Amazing if you think about comparing it to the ole film days. I limit my camera to iso 3200. Nikon D810
I am one who seldom stretches the ISO. 3200 is pretty much my top end too. Not long back it was 2000. In 2006-2008 (I think) I got a digital that claimed good noise control to a blazing 800. Things have changed a lot.

Just going by and thought no tripod but man, that looks nice. Found a place to park and went for a walk. Can't say it is the cleanest but nice. Never used ISO 8000 before but now, might try it again.

So just printed it out on paper. Not a world of difference but a noticeable difference. Not as vibrant, lower contrast and detail. Checked some other prints they have done and they are good. Going to call them Monday. Thank you for the replies.

Congratulations on a new granddaughter and lens. I know a couple people who has transitioned from FF Canons to Fuji. Mostly a weight thing due to age and one guy with a bum shoulder.

Haven't done metal but we are blown away with some we had printed on glass.
No body around here does glass and to much of a chicken to send it out. The condition of the packages we receive is not very good. Had some with foot prints on them and whole sides bashed in.

Where did you get the prints done? I've done metal prints from Bay Photo Lab and Mpix, and did not notice any lack of depth. OBTW, for me, the Bay Photo prints have a nicer finish and mounting than Mpix.
I get them done locally. They have done a good job on previous thing but not so much on these. Fall colors could be difficult with the tree and leaves. The birds I had done were fantastic so I was thinking it may be because the fine detail.

I have had a couple bird picture printed on metal that all I can say is wow, they looked great. So I had them print a couple of fall color picture of a creek with 3-5ft waterfalls. They turn out good but I am going to print them on paper tomorrow. I think the paper will look better. There seems to be a lack of depth and the separation of objects is just not there. Since I have not had much done on metal I was wondering if it lacks the ability for detail that paper has.

Many years back in the military used the cans of peanut butter they put in C rations. Heated many a meal on improvised heaters.
