Halos in the second image?

Halos in the second image?

Guilty as charged!

Overprocessing on my part. I like to see a bit of color/texture on any peripherial trees/leaves/branches that frame the image.

I will try to tone it down.

A neighbor brought over some flowers from their yard before the storm took them down. I took a few quick frames. The first few are mandevilla, and the last one is a rose.

At the risk of boring you, I will share versions of the above, modified in Photoshop for a dreamier look. I'm curious to hear which versions speak to you best.

I like both versions!

 

[SwampGrizz]

Hard to choose between them. I will say that I like the second version a little better, because the softer look is more calming somehow. I particularly like the second photo of the second group. Very relaxing to look at, if that makes any sense.

Hi, Cemal.

Nice photos, nice arrangements. I prefer the first set.

A little trip up the M6 to Leighton Moss Nature reserve to capture one of my favourite birds the Bearded Tit.

The light wasn't great and we arrived late in the morning so I was lucky to even catch them.
After an hour's wait a male and female appeared at the grit bins.

All shot on the R1 on a RF600 f4 with a 2x TC.

"The bearded reedling is a small, long-tailed passerine bird found in reed beds near water in the temperate zone of Eurasia. It is frequently known as the bearded tit or occasionally as bearded parrotbill, as historically it was believed to be closely related to either the tits or parrotbills. Today it is known to lack close relatives and it is the only species in the family Panuridae."

I guess a lot of people have been 'guilty' of overprocessing at one point or another.

You should see some of my earlier attempts at post processing. They looked like something out of a comic book. Just because the tool is in there doesn’t mean you have to use it.
