Plus the color of the rock in image #1 looks more natural to me…..image #2 has a slight color cast showing in the rock in my mind.

Both look great to me. I can only assume you shot both wide-open, and using the Nikon D850 & 500PF at f5.6 in #2 and the Sony with the 100-400 & 1.4TC in #1. I believe that would produce about a similar depth of field to keep the comparison fair. Or it’s the opposite and you used the F-stops to trick us. I assume there is no cropping, so I wonder if it would make any difference if the subject was much further away and you had to do a decent crop? I would think the more MP would be better. ?? On that topic, I’d also love to hear your thoughts on the Sony A7r3 for BIF. Is the A7r3 a significant step-up in autofocus from Canon/Nikon with the benefit of 42mp for cropping and a cheaper price point. ??
