67 Apr 23 Reply I FIND THE BEST OVERALL NOW IS TOPAZ PHOTO AI. IT DOES BOTH DENOISE AND SHARPENING. Apr 19th
67 Apr 23 Comment I went back into Photoshop, applied a smart filter and an unsharp mask. It sharpened the body feathers, but oversharpened the neck and head. I need more work with masks.

67 Apr 23 Comment Hi Susan: I just got back from a week in FL with about 14,000 images - many shot with the Nikon 500mm f/5.6 PF. That is a great lens, and paired with the Nikon D500 will give you razor-sharp images if you have enough light. That is the big IF. Both Larry and Cindy make great points. They are really good instructors from whom we learn a lot each month. Apr 10th
67 Apr 23 Comment David - You did a nice job bringing out the best features of a very barren spot in a bad light. All the dust in the air didn't help either. Your finished shot now looks like a set from a Star Wars movie.

Did you and your wife ride the coaster bikes down from the top? I spent @25 years on Oahu with multiple trips to Maui. Nice golf courses there too. 		Apr 10th
67 Apr 23 Comment Richard - That's awesome. Especially the blending of the colors. The light on the bill, the frozen water, and the fish's eye all come together perfectly. I love it. Apr 10th
67 Apr 23 Comment Michael: That's a terrific capture. Make Larry's few tweaks and print this one. You will never forget your Galapagos trip after that. Well done! Apr 10th
67 Apr 23 Comment Larry, nice shot! I noticed this behavior, too, on my recent trip to Florida, especially with tri-colored herons in the shadows under low-hanging branches. Seeing an eye or a fish here would have been nice, but I love the toe drag. Apr 5th
67 Apr 23 Comment Cindy, you really come up with some unique captures. It took me a minute to understand what my eyes were seeing. At first, I thought a giant, strange-colored woodpecker had captured a baby squirrel. Your explanation cleared it up nicely. Yes, parent birds go through many routines to prepare meals for their young. This is a terrific example of that behavior. Well done! Apr 5th
