That's from a million tries that I took that day.
Like this shot, I took was not perfect as the bird flew under some clouds and it was under exposed. Tweaked by using color curves but it didn't really worked as desired.
I thought DRO would help but it became rather grainy.

Wooo stock photo company so demanding...
"Getty would actually find it of more use to test and recommend lenses. All three systems - Canon, Nikon and Sony - include some lenses which really are not up to the demands of professional stock shooting. It is not easy to guess which those lenses are, either - or to guess which older secondhand lenses may prove perfectly matched to today’s high resolution full frame.
There is one exception, and that is the Sony Alpha range. Buy Sony CZ or G-series full frame lenses and you are guaranteed the kind of performance Getty would want. That can not be said of Canon’s L branding (the L series includes models like the 24-105mm f/4 IS, essentially a consumer grade lens), and within the Nikon range it is not possible to identify from the model name which may be the best choices. Looking for ED and IF but avoiding VR is a useful way to start out.

We can't eat that without sauce.
