I know it's just variations on a theme. But thoughts on which one is better than another? Maybe I'm just overthinking?

Even with the best of intentions ICM frequently distorts subjects beyond what was initially desired.

Photo taken at small cave enter using one 120cm octa.

I used Hasselblad X2D II 100C plus 75 3.4 P lens. The original shot was boring. I made it mono and then just used sliders to get whatever would result. This is it.

R5 using a Canon FD 800mm - f/11 - IS0 100 - 1/320 from 800 feet away. No crop.

McCloud Railway 25 built in September 1925.

This was originally a shot with my Hasselblad of a bright blue shy and a very white cloud plus some trees. I had to shoot higher in order to avoid acrs and people.

They are oversized rodents and come from Argentina. They have such large eyes.

I have a notification of a new post on here but when I click on it it tells I am not allowed to see the page. Would anyone know why that is? Seems strange to me.

I had taken my wife to Jackson, Wyoming at Christmas time so that we could ride in a "One Horse Open Sleigh". Dog it was cold!

I don't know if this is the male or the female, but we've had this nest of wood pigeons that we've been taking care of for the last few weeks.

I must admit I have been lax in both my shooting and posting recently, perhaps due to the fact my wife has now retired, and we are spending a LOT more time together doing various activities.

While wandering through a junk yard in Mérida, Mexico, I found this unique composition of a used ... ?

This little bird is a hybrid of a Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird and the fastest animal in all of creation, and a Gyrfalcon.

I took this shot at The Raptor Foundation where do much work in rescuing all types of Raptors. Many are returned to the wild though many are not native to Britain, they cannot be released.

It was a grey day out in Seabeck, WA. Everyday during low tide, the eagle come out to get the fish. This eagle had just caught a fish, and landed, as he landed, he his wings went straight up.

These are my favourite owls to dat. I used to keep Persian cats and their faces and eye shape and colour remind me very much of them. Theri faces look like an artist created them.

Owls are among my favourite birds.

I am a wheelchair based photographer. I love this art form. I don't have a favourite genre but I do love birds, expecially if I can get them flying.

Another unrepeatable experiment with a photograph of a hanging flower basket. I never know what I'm going to get, but I really enjoy doing it. They don't all come out like a big bang.

Flowers growing in our garden. Another experiment with sliders in post. Mostly perspective which is not easy because one can make a move and it says I can't do that!
