Don't most people post process their jpeg shots as well?

I recently went on a deliberate landscape "shoot" with the intention of generating a large print on the order of 24x30. I often shoot both jpeg and RAW which gives me an opportunity to review in jpeg and then PP a RAW image. On this occasion when I compared the in-camera jpeg images with the best I could do post processing the RAW file, I could not do much better than the jpeg produced by my D850. Have any of you experienced this outcome?

Took these at the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge near Portland, Oregon

We will have to try those other areas. I liked that part of the coast

I know exactly where Wilsonville is. Used to regularly go to Fry's Electronics before the store closed. We live in Central Oregon. Which part of the Oregon Coast were you on?
We were just north of Depoe Bay at the WorldMark, a guest of some friends. We enjoyed the birds: Muirs, Cormorants, Black Oyster Catchers and more. Fun. I included a shot of the Black Oyster Catcher.

I used a Canoon 100-400 mm L IS II lens plus a 1.4 Extender. The combination was 896mm with the 1.6X factor from the R7.

Nice. Do you live in Oregon, and if so where?
Yes, we live in Oregon in Wilsonville, just South of Portland.

Where can I see your photos? None of them are in this thread.
I don't post very many, but just a few minutes ago I posted one of an Immature Bald Eagle while trying out my new R7 + 100-400mm L IS II lens +1.4 Teleconverter. Ken

While at the Oregon Coast trying out my new R7 I got this shot of an Immature Bald Eagle. He was chasing a Seagull.

[quote=btbg]I decided to post these images because of recent discussions about whether or not people should use 2x extenders. I know these are birds, but putting them in the bird subsection will prevent the converter discussion.
The photos are taken with a Nikon 400f2.8s lens. The built in 1.4 converter is being used and coupled with a 2x converter. The wren also has a 5mm extension tube for closer focus.
So, the question is are these photos sharp enough, or should people not use the converters and attempt to gain the extra reach by cropping. I believe that any loss of image quality from using the converter is more than offset by the additional reach and the ability to come closer to filling the frame, but I thought it would be interesting to see where any discussion would go. Those of you who believe that no one should use teleconverters, go ahead and have your say. The photos will be posted in the first reply.[/quo
I think these photos look pretty good. I did find that microcalibrating my lens, 2X extender and camera helped greatly to get sharp pictures.

I have used a harness from Cotton Carrier, a company that makes lots of camera carriers that put the weight on the shoulders rather than the neck. I really like mine. Ken
