Another from my reconnaissance mission last week. I think it has some potential.

Years ago, these gentle and very social creatures were hunted close to extinction for their blubber and tusks. The blubber I can understand as there was a life sustaining need but tusks for trinkets?

Don't get me started on Elephant ivory and Rhino horn.
I absolutely love the definition to those wrinkles, the hairs on the forehead and that gorgeous nose, mouth and tusks! In combination with those little touches of highlights glimmering on the background water, it's a delight to behold, Peter.

I usually shoot portraits ... so when I took this pic, I thought, "Oh no... not a flower pic???"... LOL. I was actually on a portrait shoot when I took this pic. When I zoomed in reviewing the pic... part of the Bird of Paradise looked like ski's... so I thought I would have some fun with it. :)

To be honest... Photoshop was my first love when I used to jailbreak my iPhone. Then I learned Lightroom and started edited peoples pics for fun. If it wasn't for that... I probably wouldn't have gotten into photography.

Getting the hang of Capture One then!

LOL, don't I WISH!!!! Actually, since I just wanted to work on one image at that moment, I took the photo into Luminar and processed it there. Didn't really take much, just some gentle cropping to better balance the subject, then a bit of the "clarity" tool and it was done. I am really liking Luminar 2018 a lot -- it suits my usual working style!

The sort of house I'd like to live in!

Ooh, I wouldn't mind that house, either! As long as I had staff to maintain it and tend to the grounds, etc.! You know, a cook, a maid, perhaps a gardener.....

So lottery winner then!

Glad Luminar suits your style. Mine was edited in LR.

Every time I drive on I-95 past downtown Baltimore, just after I emerge from the tunnel heading north I always look for one-eyed, mustachioed Natty Boh smiling at the world from his high perch on top of an iconic building (the Natty Boh Tower) in the Brewer's Hill area.... For the uninitiated, Natty Boh is the nickname and famous logo of National Bohemian Beer, which was established and formerly brewed in Baltimore but now is owned by one of the big national beer companies and brewed somewhere else.
