p.1 #1 · Waiting - at Yellowstone

I spotted a large deer around the lake and kept waiting ....... and waiting until finally it became too dark to hope for a wildlife photo with the 100-400. Then I realized that the lingering light made for a decent image. C&C appreciated.

Hi Jim. That is a nice telephoto landscape. I sold my 500 so my 70-200 is my longest now.

Thanks, but I gave up waiting for the deer and replaced my telephoto with a standard zoom. This was taken at 18mm (29mm FF equivalent). This image is all but impossible to process on my laptop. I hope the saturation and brightness is not too bad.

It is a tad crunchy to my taste but otherwise fine. You can click "show exif" when posting and it will show basic settings. First thing I look for when I view and image.

Thanks, I guess I never noticed the exif setting. I will starting using it.

I am not too concerned about the crunchy appearance, but I am having issues with saturation. This image is dark and a slight change in screen angle makes a huge difference in the appearance on my laptop. In addition there have been a couple of recent threads getting lots of praise and on my monitor they look grossly oversaturated and overly processed. In addition to being careful about screen angle, I also realized that the ambient light changes the apparent saturation on my monitor. I think I have the issue figured out.

The image does have an HDR look to it, and slightly distracting. Otherwise, a great view.

No hdr and no blending. I am not sure I understand what seems to be distracting. Maybe I just need to come back later and look at this afresh. Thanks for the comments

To me, on my calibrated display, it looks a bit strange. Love the scene just not a fan of the processing. "Crunchy" was a word used above...I suppose that works. It does look HDR and highly processed. I also think it looked extremely over sharpened.
