Some other pics from today.

This guy was preening himself. From the color, I think he's a dicsissel.

A snowy egret on final approach. You can differentiate the snowy egret from the greater egret by the yellow feet.

Nice set, Jeff but the sharpness is a tad too heavy in #2 and more so in 3, which gave it a painted appearance. My favorite is #4.

Thanks! I’ll look at those and see if I can “unpaint” them. 😁 I think a couple of Bloody Marys may have influenced the post processing…

You could fob the effect off as art. Seems to be a thing

Good set still and decent composition and exposure.

I'm not getting that effect. Maybe I'll try again after a couple of bloody marys.

Nice set, Jeff. I like the green heron.

Well, I just had a few bloody marys ... what do you think?

That's not Bloody Mary's that's LSD.

Thank you! I always try to get a large enough area so that I can crop the image to how I want it.

Thank you! Cheers!

I think you may have had some shrooms in your Bloody Mary mix...

This is #3, just cropped to match and converted to jpg from CR3, but not processed. Quite a bit darker. For the processed image, I used DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI, GigaPixel AI, LR (final processing on the raw, and conversion to jpg), and LRE (one last bit of processing on the jpg, normally to brighten up a little).

Great set- the Green Heron for me too- we only have the Grey Heron over in the UK - very common I see them every day

Thank you! I didn't realize the variety of birds we have here until I picked up the camera again last Fall.
