Interesting birds. I would have cropped somewhat.

Thank you. This is already a crop of the 75mm image. I feared further cropping would have degraded the image. 

Do you still have that IIf?

Understood. 

Yes, but in the meantime, it grew up to a IIIf. It is long ago already, but after a film feeding problem and the Leica prices we thought, that in total it would be better to combine the repair with an upgrade of the camera. I don't use the camera often, mainly with the 12mm f/5.6. Also, digital pictures are simpler to manage.

Very nice.  It might be worth experimenting with a further crop to see if the image will hold up.

Have you tried using the DL7 in high quality jpeg with the iZoom turned on?  That extends the tele to 150 mm equivalent, using a very smart algorithm to d so virtually lossless.  iZoom does not work in raw.

Thanks for that information. I'll give it a try.

If you use LR Enhance or Topaz Gigapixel you can crop significantly further and hold the quality.

my 2¢. I like the ample space as that defines the birds of prey. I'm more interested in the total environment in this case than in a shot of the bird: now we see they have behavior; that they interact. First of all to that intruder; which implies they were up to something.

Yes, they were up to something. When I walked up, they were on the ground nearby pecking at something I couldn't see. As I arrived, they flew up to the top of the rocky bluff where I photographed them.
