Your thoughts and words are much appreciated, Steve :5

Hi Gerald, you can only tell at 100%, so will look later. ALL digital files require some for of sharpening period, you just need to be mindful: ...

Thanks Andreas and Steve for the encouragement and the useful comments. I processed the next image in the sequence as it had more behind and below...

Beautiful, great control of the colours and hues, I really lik eit.

He was a great guy, I’ve lost two wonderful guys whilst participating here on BPN over the years and both had the passion and ultimately persuaded...

THX Gabriela .... yes the rather slow shutter is not ideal :bg3: , things we can´t change afterwards . But it is part of my photographic history ......

Had you known then the things you know today... Certainly framing one can fix today to some extent, I think our main issue was the lack of shutter...

Cool, I'll have another look at this recent one when I get time but if it comes back it certainly won't have a frame or a strong signature...

I had a look .... again at the old file , apart from the somewhat quite dense looking blacks . I would rather take the older version with way more...

Thank you Andreas, Miss the Kalahari tremendously... but at the same time I think I know what it's going to be like, going back. More people,...

Thank you so much Andreas, Yes, had a wonderful time in Kruger but at times so frustrating...photographically speaking...I do like clean-ish...

Hi Gabriela ... glad you had a great time in Kruger , maybe even forgetting all the business stress at home :bg3: The Z9 seems to deliver quite...

Hi Gerald ... i do like this image even more than the previous one !!! Super isolated subject from the very cool BG with the diagonal structure ...

Hi Gabriela ... a killer image of the gorgeous Kalahari Lions !!! Love the setting .... and the overall presentation of this lovely looking...

Noted, but having more below would benefit the capture. :S3: I was only referring to the bottom & RHS to generate additional canvas ...

Hello Gerald, Such a pleasure to hear from you, always. You are absolutely right, it's all about the memories and having been there to...

Hi Steve, Thanks for your thoughts - always appreciated! The image is at its full width, cropped top and bottom to my preferred ratio 16:9. ...

Super shot Gerald, a little more "thrutch" as my old Grandpa would say does bring out all the details.

Looks very good to me Will, must admit I hadn't previously noted the texture in the bill before. Steve's suggestion regarding masking sounds good,...

Not crazy about this one, the contrast between subject and water is a little unsettling on my eyes... but the subject looks very good.

Super shot Andreas, plumage rendition is spot on - I noticed the larva in the water droplet. Composition and colours very good, pose and angle...

Hi Gerald, I much prefer this to the previous one, you can see this beautiful bird in full, set within a nice backdrop. The plumage again is cool, it...

Hi Gabriela, A stunning image of a truly magnificent beast. Wow! It looks fantastic! There is so much to love - that very focussed look,...

I like that you went darker for the background, it really works well. I also like the "pensive" pose, although I do realize it was really likely...

Excellent landing pose, and I love the surrounding grasses. I could see a version with less at left though. Jays liking peanuts - sounds like a...

Hey Andreas, Isn't it great going back through those old files. Today's technology makes such a difference in what can be achieved in processing....

Hi Ilija, I find there is something of the old "Audubon" print about this image - the way the two birds are posed to best show off the back of one...
