67 Jan 24 Comment All good suggestions. Thanks. Jan 30th
67 Jan 24 Reply I find that I can waste hours on a photo, obsessing over minor details at 200%. My 2024 resolution is to cut that out of my post-processing. Jan 15th
67 Jan 24 Comment Michael, this was a tough image because the bird and moth are brilliantly sharp, but the distractions around it are almost impossible to eliminate. I even took it into LRC myself and tried every trick I knew there and couldn't get rid of that big green leaf in the front. Still, it's a great capture of a very difficult bird. Jan 15th
67 Jan 24 Comment Cindy, I envy your trips. That was very nice post-processing of a difficult image dealing with sky, snow, and iceberg. They all look great. Nice capture of the eye and tail on the lead Gentoo. Jan 15th
67 Jan 24 Comment Susan, it looks like you had a challenging day shooting. There was lots of haze and smoke. Tough to get a clear image or salvage colors, but it gave you something solid to work on your post-processing skills with. Keep at it. You're showing improvement every month. Jan 15th
67 Jan 24 Comment I like this one a lot, David. It's a most unusual pattern, and the light playing on the colors makes it special. Jan 15th
67 Jan 24 Comment Hi Larry: Love the sandpiper with the bug. It's great capture with the platypus. I have one but rarely get to use it. Today must be my day to mess around with other people's photos. I took the liberty of removing the reed distraction, so the concentration is on the beak with the bug. I also applied some generative Ai in PS to expand the photo as you suggested. Jan 4th
67 Jan 24 Comment Hi Richard, I'm very envious. I have been trying to capture a red fox in its winter coat my entire life and have yet to do so. I love your fox image. I just don't like all the distractions around it. I took the liberty of playing with it in LRC. I removed the branches and worked a little with the new Lens Blur feature to blur the surroundings and sharpen the fox. I also lightened the eyes just a bit. Jan 4th
