guy showed up all week so thought I'd make him immortal.
Shot with a Canon R5 and a Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS. Processed in Lightroom Classic and Topaz Photo AI.

Kurt, I believe you did an excellent job of post-processing. The only thing I thought if a macro lens could improve the whole image and composition. Good job Kurt. Posted: 07/17/2025 15:14:46
I like what you did. Posted: 07/18/2025 18:32:36
No doubt. That's my next buy. Posted: 07/18/2025 20:16:04
I like the treatment and the diagonal. I took it in another direction and flipped it. Posted: 07/18/2025 18:39:25
Art would you tell me how you got Kurtis' shot so soft? It looks totally different.

I used a curves adjustment lighten it and a bit of dodging. Posted: 07/22/2025 03:20:09
Kurt what a great accidental photo and I very much like your finished version. So sharp with the soft background, beautiful. Over the years I have heard when taking close ups...take a step closer than take another step closer. Art's version is exactly that. Posted: 07/21/2025 17:55:40
