Always enjoy and appreciate your stunning bird shots Clive . . Thanks for sharing them! Sometimes seeing your shots encourages me to venture out and take some myself and sometimes they just make me want to hang up the camera and stay home ;^) Thanks Dan. Appreciate your kind words. I know the feeling you speak of. Sometimes when I see outstanding photo work I jokingly say, "I am selling all my gear and joining a convent." But we just keep getting getting out and doing the best we can remembering that the most important people to make happy is you and me. Sure I share photos (as demanded by my ego) but I feel good when I get a photo that I think is good. If others have better photos that's okay. Perhaps I will learn something or be encouraged to do better. I am 77 and digital is the best thing ever to keep me busy and happy. Clive Wise words and sage advise Clive - ideally if photography is a hobby it should be about creating something we find pleasing instead of trying to please others. Can't imagine taking bird photos with film . . not knowing how they turned out for quite awhile and limiting yourself to only take a shot when it's a good one. I remember a time when I practiced treating digital like film after reading an article . . it did tend to make me view a shot in more depth than I had been doing and was a good excersize . . but I just saw that I took 5,000 photos in October and almost 2,000 last Month so I guess that mindset has fallen by the wayside for me ;^) Keep 'em comin' Clive!

Edited in On1 Photo Raw - never saw such a thing at any of the air shows I've attended before so thought I'd share. He almost stole the show from the Blue Angels which is something hard to imagine.

What an awesome capture Clive - I knew that owls could turn their heads around but have been surprised on more than one occassion now to find a bird in a shot I took had their head turned around while in flight or perched. This shot of yours raises that to another level and is superbly processed too!

Dan, great image on more than one count -- composition, DOF, creative shooting angle. And welcome to the WP challenge! In a nutshell, . . . - A new theme is posted every Monday. - The submitted photo should be taken specifically for the posted theme. - There is no posting deadline. Hmm . . . maybe an oops here . . I pulled that photo from my archive because I love to take Architectural detail shots and do so often while exploring a location. So it wasn't taken within the week of the challenge, specifically for the challeng . . . Hope that's okay

Read an article on the On1 blog titled 6 Different Photo Editing Styles to Try (https://www.on1.com/blog/photo-editing-styles/) and thought the High Key style was worth trying. Followed their steps in On1 Photo Raw on the image below, followed by adding a few other effects (B&W, Glow, Grunge). Even though my photo wasn't really that bright of an image like they mentioned to start with and I liked the results enough thought I'd share. i.ibb.co/P5r9vx9/DSC09120-HDR.jpgThe result i.ibb.co/sjDgXX6/DSC09120-HDR-raw23.jpg
