I really like the way you used shallower depth of field on these landscapes. May I know what lens you used? It almost has a medium format look the way the background focus falls off.
BO MONO. Beautiful landscapes. Love the first one.
AGeoJO. Joshua, wonderful dynamic shot. Did you try your hand at participating ??
Some hummers with flowers. Not having much luck with getting flowers to grow , between the rocky soil and the deer , it is a struggle . So, I buy bouquets and little pots and place them on my railing for the hummers.

Thanks again Ross, much appreciated buddy - Lens exif info is on the Title (Flickr links)...These were both taken with the Sony 35mm f1.4 GM lens....The colour image I used wide open at f1.4 to achieve a shallow DoF and the mono was stopped down to f8.0, I just painted out part of the background and some foreground with the blur tool in Affinity Photo.
I have been shooting landscapes WO more often nowadays to get a 3D look
^^^Also thank you Roberta - Excellent hummer shots beautifully processed ^^^
Thank you very much, Ross! The Sigma 500mm sings in your hand; the image you posted is superb!

Thank you very much, Birdie! Ha, I am too old and frail to participate 😜. Two crew members of the cruise ship did and here is Lindsey and how excellent she did as you see on this image below. You hummer images are exquisite, Birdie!

BTW:What part of Ukraine do you come from?
Слава Україні! Героям Слава!
That place looks gorgeous. I also looked Wrocław up on Google - beautiful European city. You won't see anything like this in the New World. Very nostalgic
I'm from Crimea. It was occupied in 2014.
Thank you guys for helping the refugees. We also donate to the military every month. We will win! 🇺🇦

Bosque del Apache outside of Socorro New Mexico is a great place to photograph wildlife during the annual migrations. I'm headed back there in a couple of months so I decided to work a few images from last years visit. I'm anxious to get back If you haven't been, it's well worth a trip.
