I have been intrigued by this photo, the incredible detail and resolution. Then I looked up what a "5d IV" was and now I know.. Did you use use a tripod as well? Lighting added to the overall effect. Well done.

Oh, thank you so much.
I remember taking this picture when I just bought the Canon 5D mk IV (and that particular 85mm lens).
The light was nice that winter afternoon, but the sun came and went.
I had been on that same spot before and just thought that it could be nice with this light. Otherwise it's a kind of dark/dull area.
I sat there on the stone steps (with coffee) for about 20 minutes, waiting for the sun to appear, and I remember freezing.
I like the image as well, but the lens showed som chromatic aberration if I look closely. That's a common issue with the lens. I've sold it now.

Mr. Peacock was apparently feeling challenged as I made my way out of this park. He strutted up and blocked the path while demonstrating his awesomeness.

During my annual visits down to Fort Myers Beach, I’m always amazed how loud these birds are. Not only that, they’re very domesticated and will walk right up next to you. Really incredible animals.

So like pretty much any place, Dublin, OH (north west of Columbus) has their share of weird / stupid / odd stuff.

I give you the stone corn field of Dublin, OH! Yes, those stone corn statues are about as tall as a grown adult.

Picture taken with the camera on my iPhone XR, then cropped to remove the grass in the bottom of original picture to better focus on the corn statues. Focal length 4.25 mm, F number f/1.8, Exposure 1/2,257.

Not the greatest osprey picture in the world . Backlit , cropped maybe a bit too much , not enough detail for my taste , but I kinda like the contrast between the buildings in the background (Atlantic City) and the nesting platform in the foreground.
