Looks like a painting
 
How about posting the metadata: ISO, shutter speed, lens, etc.?

Hugh,
ISO - 1600
Lens- Zeiss 600mm
Shutter speed - 1/3200 sec. at f/4

Can I make a suggestion?

If you are on a tripod (and I really hope you are) you shouldn't need to be at 1/3200 except for the flying shot, so if you can drop down to (again on a tripod) an 800th-ish at 400 ISO, you should have better dynamic range and less noise, unless that was the specific look for which you are going. (somewhat contrasty and a bit "grainy" looking).

Oh, and I'm out the door and won't be back at the computer for a while if so if you reply, I won't be in the conversation until I get back.

Aye Hugh,
I understand fully on the tripod. The image in question was shot offhand. I'll give the tripod a go whence I have more time to set up as such. I really appreciate your suggestion and I am a fan of your work here on RTF👌.

Cheers,
Mike 🍀
 
If that Zeiss 600 F:4 is a heavy as my Canon, you're tougher than I am if you can hand hold it at all. The Canon weighs about 13lbs and I just can't keep it on target without some kind of support.
