What a beautiful portrait.

Simply deleted the attachments I made early in the thread.

The image was one from an advertising / promotional set that we did.

You did not need to remove past images / attachments. We will, eventually, correct the issue which will automatically install a correction.

Noted the old attachments yesterday when I was checking out settings and the like. Almost deleted them then as too old to keep. Like a wallet, tend to want to keep my profile as light as possible.

The 'insert image' icon in the editor will allow an attachment to be properly placed in a post.

In the second one, like how you also caught the ripples caused by his claws.

The attachment / thumbnail issue has now been corrected.

We had some discussion on montage / composite images not long ago. Here is one where I employed such technique creating an image related to some promotional / advertizing work.

Your work with people enchants me. That's a wonderful montage.

Eldest daughter will be home in a week, and has agreed to serve as my practice model--providing I first send her a new set of parakeet pictures. (I'm not sure whether that is blackmail or bribery.)

Glad you find it a worthy image.

Enchants? Hmmmmmm


I am not usually one to gimmick an image, but........

LOL.. send her a super-close up of say the parakeet's feet and then one of the beak. Tell her if she does well as your model during the visit you will send her the rest of the bird (in images).

Gimmick or no, that is a very nice touch to that particular portrait. It fits.

Beaks and feet! That will be hilarious. I'll send her a set for each bird and see how many she can correctly identify. Grin, I can hear her now..."Mmmoommmm!"

Details change quickly here this time of year. A couple of weeks ago, weed tendrils waving over a rock, had me taking a casual snap. Casual snaps are usually relegated to the recycle bin the first pass over, but this one had me taking a second look at the texture and colors of the drying algae on the rock. And, for no particular reason, I happen to like the weed tendrils.





Another shot of a different rock--but didn't capture the texture, and the algae looks almost painted on. Plus the weeds didn't stand out in the image as much as they did in the actual setting.





Here is one of the tendrils up close.





Textures, colors, shapes...Couldn't get it to come together this year; already wondering what I might try next April.

Composition & exposure are there.... but.....maybe a little more pop to the ladybug image?

With the other two I see a an area with a lot of potential and also grasp an idea of what was captured. I wonder if you attempted any other angles, compositions, etc. ?

A very nice difference! Thank you.

No, nothing other than a couple of different exposure settings, zooming out, zooming in. It wasn't until I saw the images later that I saw the camera was trying to pick up something I couldn't (and still can't) quite yet see. Next Spring I can try different angles, perhaps a different lens as well.
