Yes, it did thanks for the "tutorial" and your continued willingness to share your expertise.
You're welcome, though I wouldn't go so far as to say that my knowledge of shooting water has risen to the level of expertise. I haven't yet had an opportunity to shoot a seascape at the coastline of an ocean, where the water is really moving and the art becomes all about capturing its power and flow. (For example: link.) People like The Reef will know a lot more about shooting water than I do.
Terrific portrait, sonor! Great to see you posting again.
Nice contrast of warm and cool, and great composition / element placement as always.
Fashion on the fells...
I love this kind of light combined with the gloomy clouds. It makes for a great atmosphere.
Powerful! As Dale mentions you do well in applying the right treatment in the right situations.
Great colours and composition, nice!
Saved by the cloud
Mmmmm, beautiful. The centred cloud and leading lines of the rocks are perfect.
Fantastic shots all!

I went to a balloon festival this morning. Unfortunately not as many balloons showed up as originally scheduled, but I still got some good shots from it. They only launched one at a time, so I couldn't get a shot of multiples in the air.
From the park next door, I have no idea what kind of bird it is.

The background sucks because it was too crowded, but I did the best I could with what was available. Quite like the picture if you consider just the main subject.
Thanks Dale! Do you know of any good books for ID'ing birds?
My pic for the day, a teddy bear attached to a fence next to a creek near my house.
Makes sense.
Whenever I ask myself does this picture work?, theres only ever one answer. A pic that works works; I dont have to think about it.
The swan pic Id call close, but no cigar: an experiment that might have worked... but didnt. The swans have no relationship to each other. RH swan is swimming out of the picture plane. Whats in focus - some of the grasses - isnt interesting enough to hold the pic together. The eye doesnt know where to go, to make sense of the composition. It doesnt give me the feeling that Im there.
These are the kind of thoughts I'd have if I was editing a new set of pix on my Mac...
True. How about one that works then? From a recent trip to the beautiful city of San Francisco.
^I remember hearing so many of those bizarre sirening fire trucks when I was in SF, they sound nothing like they do here in Aus.
Here's one I captured:

Thanks fitshaced

Thanks Phrasikleia. Been a bit busy. Haven't even had time to come by and visit for a while.

Just got my scanner working again, so here's one from the archives...
Went to the NC State Fair last night to try my hand at taking night time shots of the rides. C&C welcome

Great colours, certainly, but, to me, you've over-processed the pic (and others you've posted). It kinda stops me 'getting' into the picture, and leaves me, instead, with a surface 'sheen'. It's obviously the way you want your pix to look, but when it starts to look unreal, PP can become more of a hindrance than a help, IMO...
When I'm online, my reference is the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
