The Redefine (Beta) really adds inconsistent and bizarre effects to the water.

I wonder if the water can be masked out.

My granddaughter is a high school senior this year and growing up so fast. Her boyfriend was in town this week, he is first year navy and between assignments. She asked me for some portraits. I had just purchased a Christmas themed backdrop for a charity event I take pictures at before Christmas so figured I would use it for some of the portraits. Then a quick trip to the park for some outdoor ones. Makes me feel old, she was one of the grandkids I held as a newborn!

Hi David,
A terrific capture of (what sounds like) a fast and skittish creature - and what little cutie!
Excellent subject isolation, fine feather detail and that all important eye catch-light.
Thank you for sharing...

Hi RedCobra,
I passed on Gigapixel 8 (so I'm now frozen at Gigapixel AI v 7.2.0 - plus the upscaling functionality in Photo AI), so it's fascinating to see what it can do.
This is astonishing stuff - a wonderful outcome on the subject.
Thank you for sharing...

Hi David,
An unusual perspective - well seen and caught - reminds us a little of going round an air museum and glancing up at all the intricate undercarriage and flap arrangements.
(The question here is, will some mini-flyers eventually be emerging from the mothership?).
Thank you for sharing...

You've turned a drizzling afternoon into art - a perfect blend of leading lines, glorious colours and forefront clarity diminishing into a warm dreamy blur.
Sublime - well done and thank you for sharing...

We're back! A pleasant couple of visits to Chester Zoo (a few images to follow - but a coffee time creative processing doodle of a 'bin destined fail' is below).

Images from our vaguely recent-ish (we're still trying to catch up with reality... 
) visits to Dunure and Cruggleton Castles, Scotland.
(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PL Elite and Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper Panels. Compilations feature: R7 - Karen and R5 - Phil).
Phil and Karen
1. Dunure Castle stands on a rocky promontory on the Carrick Coast overlooking the small harbour of Dunure. The site itself dates to the late 13th-century, but the remains of the castle are of 15th- and 16th-century origin.
2. Dunure Castle is the point of origin of the Kennedys of Carrick - more famously associated with Culzean Castle (and not to be confused with the American Kennedy family).
3. In August 1563, Mary Queen of Scots visited Dunure castle for 3 days during her third progress round the west of the country. By the mid-17th century the castle was described as ‘wholly ruined’. More recently it featured in the TV series ‘Outlander’.
4. The ruins of Cruggleton Castle sit on a shale promontory 130 feet above sea level at Cruggleton Point, in the historical country of Wigtownshire. (Wigtown itself being officially designated as ‘Scotland’s National Book Town’ in 1998).
5. The site has had several periods of use, dating from the 1st century AD to the 17th-century. It is believed the first stone tower was built here in the 13th-century, but by 1684 it was abandoned and described as ‘wholly demolished and ruinous’.
6. Little remains of the original structure(s), with the dramatic 9.8 foot high stone arch thought to be a partial (if not particularly recent) reconstruction.

A few fall fauna photos, taken on our fall holiday around New England or in our backyard.
A Common loon on First Connecticut Lake in New Hampshire. It was drying it's wings after preening.
A monarch butterfly who was probably overstaying their welcome in northern New Hampshire
A honeybee getting the last pollen and nectar of the season in New Hampshire
Once a year in autumn, I get to to take bird photos in our backyard with bright colors in the background. There is a red maple tree whose leaves turn a brilliant red color and some spruces trees that turn yellow or orange.
This downy woodpecker was hanging out on a stump I've placed near our feeders.
A dark-eyed junco that spent a little time on a branch before returning to their preferred feeding spots on the ground.
An eastern bluebird in front of the red maple
A common grackle posed with the perfect angle to show off all its iridescence, with fallen colorful leave providing the background
Finally, a black-capped chickadee, the State bird of Massachusetts and one our favorite birds in the backyard. These birds are intelligent and know what it means when I carry out a bag of seed to fill the feeder; they are also not shy about landing very close and scolding me until I get the seed out for them

I helped out a friend by doing some graduation portraits of her daughter. She is graduating from Texas Southern University, an HBCU that is quite well established here in Houston. We had to deal with rain showers and high temps and humidity but in the end got some good shots. She is receiving her Bachelor's degree but plans to continue toward an MBA. For those in other countries on this forum, here in the USA, colleges that are historically African American colleges are referred to as HCBU, Historical Black Colleges and Universities.
Yes, I did mess with some sky improvements as they were quite flat in the late afternoon. Not perfect but she liked them.

Hi Don,
Wow, what a feast for the eyes on a cold, soggy and grim Monday morning (here in central England) - a series of beautifully captured images, rich with fine detail and lush scintillating colours. It's absolutely impossible to single out a favourite (but if really pushed we'd have to go for the woodpecker!).
Very well done indeed - and thank you for sharing...

Hi Chris,
A superbly captured series of shots to record this important waypoint in a young person's life - treasured memories beautifully recorded for posterity.
Love the range of settings (people-free too!) - so much pride, joy and life energy in evidence here. A masterclass in graduation portraiture.
Well done - and thank you for sharing...
