Here's an image of some gorgeous autumn beech leaves at Blashford Lakes reserve (near Ringwood, Hampshire), backlit by the low afternoon sun (3.00pm mid-November).
1/1000th sec; f/11.0; ISO 1250; D750; 500mm PF
Pleased to note that the bokeh is pretty good (to my eyes anyway!) but the out-of-focus highlights do have a hard edge to them. I understand this to be an artefact of the Phase Fresnel technology.
It'd be interesting to compare the bokeh and OOF highlights on this 500mm PF and the 300mm PF. I'll try to borrow a 300mm PF and do the test...

Thanks for posting those, interesting that snipe pix must have been taken at same time as mine. I like the Autumn pix.
Looking through your D500 pixs on the card in my camera you had plenty of good images and focus was good on many of the flying shots. We had good afternoons photography and fine weather. I look forward to doing a Kingfisher shoot with you in the New Year.

This is another shot of the Snipe taken 1sec after my first shot with drip! Very similar settings but Eric remarked when I sent him the files that even at only 800 ISO the blow up from the D850 was still a lot ie using only 24% of tye whole image a problem with bird photography even with a 700mm lens.
This print I have worked on it in Photoshop CC and used it's RAW conversion to tiff. Before conversion I used Adobe RAW filter to remove noice but also slightly masked the bird so as not to lose all important detail. The final A3+ print looks very smooth with no noise and a good sharpness in the bird. This will be lost a bit in the JPG but you can see the improved image quality now.
I think latet version of Photodhop CC RAW priduces far better final images than Nikon's capture ND.

This is the file that has not been corrected in Photoshop CC RAW from the NEF ie see the noise at what is quite a big blow-up.
