Paul,
Here is my constructive criticism.
Concept of the pics is great. These kind of shots can be used in full page ads. Its difficult to judge these shots because they are only 72dpi.
Overall, I am not impressed with ISO-12800. Pics are too grainy, they lack sharpness/details. Shots below 1/100 have motion blurr like reel-to-reel and Zu Audio.
Did some googling this morning for D810 and ISO-12800. DP review compared D810 and D850. Full size pics are horrendous for both cameras.

Since you are going to be a professional photographer, my feedback is tough, sorry. I would not touch IS-12800 with a 10 ft pole. Last week, I saw a photographer taking shots of a late cup standing in the middle of a pile of coffee beans. He used two portable spot lights (no softening devices) to capture the light and shadows. He must have take 40-50 shots of one arrangement. I guess, spending time before and after the show pays off.
Paul is a professional photographer, retired. He's not a wanna be, he's the genuine article. I believe he knows what he's doing and how to get the results he's after better than anyone else on this board and his photos are the proof.
