kpmac,
I like the close crop and when my significant other saw the close up she was amazed at the eye detail.
So yes there is a little something for all between the 2 images.
Thanks for your response.
Regards,
Mike

Fantastic detail. I’m a bird person, and never knew this about the Red-bellied woodpecker. Thanks for sharing!

MadMikeOne,
Thanks for the response, and kind words.
When I saw the tongue I had to investigate myself, I found the link very interesting if you scroll down the information about the Hummingbird just blew me away.

Vietnam Vet,
Thanks for the kind response.
This encourages me to post the other of a Tufted Titmouse, his tongue has a scalloped front edge.

Barbed Tongue

Of a Red-bellied Woodpecker.
Going through some of my photos I came across this one from back in 2017.
Kind people and photographers leave seed for the birds at this location they have become used to people being close.
Picture taken with Nikon D500 and the Nikon 200-500mm lens
Shutter speed 1/3200, ISO 1800, f/5.6
Distance of 5.9 meters based on the Focus Distance read in the picture metadata.
Hope you enjoy the image as much as I do.
The downloads will provide a little more detail regarding the barbs on the tongue.

Nikon d500 and noise

joer wrote:

Although very capable the D500 based on my experience and DXOMark's rating for noise is not all that good at high ISO. Whom ever told you that had low expectations or was comparing it to something significantly worse.

Try Topaz's AI Clear or Denoise.

I beg to differ, this attachment was shot at 20000 iso, adjusted in Lightroom only. Is it the best no, but it is a memory and I do not think it is unusable. Exif is embedded.

What you stated is what I found to be true, I shoot Nikon and have the D500 with Nikon 200-500mm, f5.6 is as wide as it gets, what is nice is it is that way from 200-500mm, on gloomy days have to shoot 4000-5000 iso and shutter at around 1/80 to 1/100 I do get some keepers though.
Thanks for taking time to respond.
Mike
