The Painted Bunting has been on my bucket list for years. This is a nice capture, but at such a distance enlarging it makes it pretty soft. Did you consider Topaz Gigapixel Ai? Their new enlargement algorithm works nicely. |

AAHHH, springtime in Florida. Great interaction, Larry. With the colors, shading and wet feathers, they almost looks like characters out of a comic book or video game. If you put them into Leonardo Ai, you could have the start of a novella! |

I think this would be an excellent discussion topic. I have thousands of images of species interactions where one critter is slightly out of focus, usually due to aperture, from my habit of shooting wide open. |

Susan, you know you can put your shutter on "silent," don't you? This is always a good thing when shooting wildlife. I might have cropped about 1/5th off the right side as not adding to the image, but that's just nitpicking. You might be interested to know this couple are Ring-necked ducks (Aythya collaris). |

Michael, I would be proud to hang this image on my wall. Given the sun's position, I agree that the rock face is a bit too light. I would back that off a bit. Was the sunburst caught in the camera or applied later? Kudos if you caught it with your lens. You're right about the trucks and people giving size perspective, but I prefer the clean look in your finished photo. |

Hi Larry: The dark tail on the lead eagle is caused by the shadow of the right wing relative to the sun. As you can see the curve of the eagle's body, it is tucking the tail underneath slightly to initiate the maneuver. It is quite a show of aerial majesty. Unfortunately, they perform way out over the water, which is 100-150 yards away at low tide. I asked them to fly towards me, but they weren't interested. I looked at photos from previous years, and they are all the same, looking away from the shore with the photographers. Maybe they are shy? |
