I've lost objectivity. I've been staring at this image too long, pushing pulling adjusting. I blew the highlights when I captured the image. Don't know if it works or if it belongs in the trash.

Peire - these spring images are so well done and very welcome viewing. Spring here in the mountains of West Virginia is a bit behind, with rain/snow showers during the next few days. Thanks for the images and for lifting my spirits! Steve

Steve - I'm really glad that my spring pictures managed to lift up your spirit. .In Poland and especially in Lower Silesia in the South-West ,where I live, spring is at least one month earlier than usual.The earliest coming spring in my whole life.It runs so quickly that it's not easy to catch up with it's pace.So I try not to lose the opportunity to take some pictures before it turns into the summer.Piotr.
Really love the simplicity of this image, Ross. We are heading over to Cleveland area for the solar eclipse tomorrow, hope the weather will cooperate. For me, being there to experience the total eclipse is more important than taking pictures. The traffic on the way home after the eclipse in 2017 was just unbelievable. I didn't realize so many people were interested in seeing the total eclipse enough to take such long trips.
Testing my Thousand Oaks solar filter this morning.

Thank you Douglas! Looks like you are set with your solar filter. Hope your trip and experience is great!
I enjoy your superb minimalist approach in the last few pages.

1/200 second, amazing! Joshua! Are you sure it was a real bird?
Just kidding! It's not something I even dare to try even when hummers are just hovering.

Thank you very much, Doug! Well, it is a real hummingbird alright but the 1/200s is actually the sync speed for the flash used to capture that hummer 😎. Have fun photographing the eclipse tomorrow. I experienced a full eclipse in Iceland in 2017 but I didn’t take a single shot since I wasn’t prepared to do it. But like you mentioned, just the phenomenon alone is worth experiencing in real life.
