Wow! Can I ask what sort of tweaks you do after taking these? I’m guessing there must be a few adjustments to get such crispness of details like the back of the birds neck and the tree bark/moss… besides having a nice camera in the first place of course.

Regardless, thanks for sharing, absolutely gorgeous photos! You should enter them in a photography contest.

I would say that it’s mostly the lens. I invested in some great glass. Secondly, post processing helps a lot. I’m using DxO Photolab along with Lightroom Classic.
Lately I’ve found noise reduction algorithms very helpful in getting that little extra sharpness. A little goes a long way.
