There are many beautifull birds, and then there are...those things called wild turkeys

A corner of my local museum. A hunter shoots a bear; the taxidermist, for reasons I cant even guess at, gives him a broad grin, as though the hunter had told him the funniest joke hed ever heard. First kill your bear... then humiliate him. Grotesque...
Its time this sad, sorry, moth-eaten specimen was thrown in a skip. Thanks to TV we all know what bears look like... and its nothing like this...

I'm really digging this effect, much like your previous photo. It seems to work well with the landscapes, giving them a painterly feel.

No problem for me.
I need to ask for opinions on this shot. When I focused I was going for the person that is hidden by the flag. When I hit the shutter the flag bearer spun it in front of my original subject at the same moment. So I ended up with the flag in focus and the bearer not. But, I like the dynamic motion shown in the flag. So, does the fact the person spinning the flag is not in focus, or would it have been a better shot if they were (not that I knew they were going to spin to focus that way...)?
^^^ Border looks OK to me. But house & head seem too close together. I'm mentally taking a few paces to the left, so the woman's head is seen against the shadowed area... to balance up the composition...
grabbed this one in my back yard while getting ready to add some oil and sprinkler fluid to my car.
I would love some opinions, I've only been taking pictures for about two months.

Maybe because the texture, or the movement of the flag, doesn't give us something sharp to focus our attention on...
In a case like this, maybe a few burst of shots would have helped the camera eventually grab focus on the person ?
Very easy for me to say after the facts though
Just a bunch of spoonbills ( and something else )

I too am enjoying your painterly treatments. You're very good at matching the right scenes with this aesthetic. They're images that reward the eye for a good long while.
I don't usually shoot in colour, so this is relatively new territory for me. Thoughts? Too over processed? I have one that tones it down a bit.

I seem to be rolling into a church/choir project the coming weeks, so i started to explore the light and space of the venues. This is half of the interior of the Pilgrimschurch of which I showed the exterior last month. Handheld, in a few days I go back and take my tripod and more lenses.

my Eagle photo turned out like crap. huge halo around the subject. Time to try it again for another 50th time

Great shot!
ISO2000, 1/5sec, F/6.3, 360mm, +0.3 EV.
The plane had started its takeoff roll, probably would have been doing about 60kts when captured here. I much prefer to do this sort of low shutter speed panning type photo. If I were doing it again, I might have used ISO4000 and a smaller aperture to get more of a star-burst effect from the lights.

Okay, are you using Nikon? Might be active D-lighting setting. That must be a camera setting or something in your editing application.
