The auto ISO went to 4000, could clean it up pretty easily with a denoise filter. Or just use a reasonable shutter speed!

@Jgbird I’ve heard an ND filter is useful in those situations but I don’t have one to try. Your photo looks great to me!

@rpmik I’ve used a circular polarizer for things in water like rays and fish, and I had an ND filter for landscape, but never did much real landscape. The thread diameter of the zoom lens is 93mm though so I figure a filter that size would be more than I’d want to spend!

@Jgbird oh, yeah! No doubt it’d cost a small fortune! Probably wouldn’t get much actual use. Usually too much light with a zoom is far from a problem

@Jgbird awww 4000 isn't that high
as someone with reasonably priced glass...When I'm zoomed in with the teleconverter we're talking about f/9 wide open, so... yeah... I try to keep the ISO down with the shutter but you can't argue with this result - awesome shot!
