Its a nice capture (position of wings) that suffers due to the quality.  It doesn't look that grainy, so the high ISO of the 7000 seems pretty decent.  It was cropped square which does not help the composition, and the bird if out of focus/has some motion blur.  The whole image is dark and lacks oomph.  a little post processing could have gone a long way with this one.  I am guessing this was taken further out and you cropped it to be closer, and that is where the image quality went.</p></blockquote><p></p>
