I do all my work, whether in LR, PS or a third party software, and then use DXO output sharpen. When applied it is saved back to LR. When I export from LR I choose "long side" and set it at 1900 pixels and limit the file size to 1 Mb. Hope this helps. |

I love the rim light! And I am amazed with how you visualized the final image...very creative. To me it takes the image from just one more lion captured while on safari and turns it into art. You inspire me! Next week I will be at the Prior Wild Horse Range in Wyoming. Maybe I can capture something on which I can try this processing idea out. |

Judith, I am so glad you are working with that camera lens combination. I'll bet you will come to like it and rely on it more and more. I have a couple of ideas that might make things less difficult for you. 1.) I use a camera beanbag to support my lens when shooting from a window or porch railing. It is shaped like a molar and provides a lot of stability. Best part is it is not terrible expensive. 2.) Watch the birds for a while before trying to capture a photo. Often they will return to the same perch time after time. Adjust your camera setting for that location, get your focus set and then just wait for the bird to pop into your frame. |

What luck! Fox, once common in my neighborhood, are rarely seen anymore. I think the image looks very warm. Try moving the WB slider to the left a tad. I also wonder if selecting the background and adding a slight blur would improve the image. Try it and see what you think. |

To me this is a lovely pastoral image with lots of horizontal lines to add to the overall felling of serenity. I too noticed the slightly off kilter horizon immediately. An easy fix, though. I think Mike's suggestion to remove the one horse is a good one. He did a good job with that remove tool in LR. I have not been that successful using it though. So I do any removal I need in PS. You may have better results than I did...worth a try. |

I get a sense of "Story". I wonder how many people ever look close enough at a bee to see that pollen sacks they carry? I my opinion ,removing the stem at the top would improve the image. I think it may also help to remove that little orange dot on the left. I really like the color palette in this image. |

Nice shot. You certainly captured the eagle in a good location - much better than a bird on a bare branch. It still looks a bit noisy to me - especially on the feathers. I attended a webinar last weekend in which the presenter said he ran some of his bird images through Topaz DeNoise AI twice then through AI Sharpen twice. His stuff looked pretty noise free and sharp, at least on the digital screen. I have not tried tht myself.
I like white skies...I know some don't, but I find them very artistic. I think you have done well with your post processing. The only way I know to renover fringing is with careful cloning is PS. |

Thanks, Ally. For birds in flight I only use manual. Shutter priority would not allow me to control the depth of field and that often results in messy backgrounds unless the background is a pretty far distance behind the subject. |

Thanks for your comments, Ann. I am still working on hummingbirds and hoping the fall migration will give ne more opportunities. |

Thanks for your comments. Yes, for moving subjects I always use AI Servo, burst shooting and set the autofocus to animal eye tracking. I have the * button on the back set for that, so all I have to do is put my thumb on that button. |
