67 Mar 24 Comment Thank you all. It is printed on metal and hanging on the wall. ;-) Mar 26th
67 Mar 24 Comment OK, Michael, I'm really impressed. 14,400 ISO, handheld, and you got those colors and feather detail? I envy you. Well done! Mar 12th
67 Mar 24 Comment Susan- I'm happy to see the camera setup you are now using. It's a great rig for distance. A 9x16 crop might work well here to give the crow room to fly and lessen some of the noise produced by your tight crop. You've done a nice job in post-processing, reducing noise, and bringing out wing feathers, eyes, and legs. This was an ambitious task and I can see how you have progressed since you joined the group.

67 Mar 24 Comment David: I have shot that location hundreds of times over all seasons. The best time to shoot if you are looking for a landscape of the river and mountains is the early morning when the rising sun lights it all up (assuming clear skies in the east). Your shot is in a conflict that HDR won't resolve. I would save the sky portion as a background in photoshop for another image one day. The lower image of the mountains could be salvaged, but, as Larry demonstrated, it is not sharp enough to keep. Mar 12th
67 Mar 24 Comment Richard, I love the picture and think it's a great capture with the bird colors and feather detail. I agree with others about the distraction of the blue at the top. I might have cropped that out as well; then expanded the image in Photoshop Beta with generative Ai to give the bird the original room you set in your image. Mar 12th
67 Mar 24 Comment Cindy, once again, you've provided a wonderful landscape from South Georgia Island. After Susan's remarks, I spent 15 minutes playing "Where's Waldo" looking for red trousers. I never did see them. Photo books can be created through Blurb.com using the Bookwright app. Also, Adobe's InDesign will provide formats using the "Book" setup in Lightroom Classic. Mar 12th
67 Mar 24 Comment It is a gorgeous shot and a phenomenal capture of lightning bolts manually! It almost has a religious or spiritual nature. Great job reducing the highlights in post-processing.

Extraordinary and freaking dangerous. You know, if you can see and hear the lightning, you can be struck.

67 Mar 24 Comment Larry, I'm blushing. Those are the best comments I've ever received from you. Thank you! Mar 1st
