Masterful! Truly masterful. I love the light the most. BTW your tutorial was very helpful, Roz. Thanks. Now, would you please send the advanced one on blending and layer masking. There must be some shortcuts I'm unaware of. All that masking is soooooo tedious. I can spend hours masking out intricate details at maximum zoom. Are there some tricks I am unaware of?

I like this shot a bunch. Nice tones throughout, good focus, no shadows. Dof allows both hands to be sharp. Nicely seen.

I'm impressed you even considered crawling over the fence. I'd land on my back right at his hooves. Well, that would be a good perspective. Love your treatment of this. He's pretty cute.

A well balanced composition. The white blossoms really stand out against that green background. Ah, yes, the 'handshake'. I do love my VR lens! It's almost cheating.

It always cracks me up how much they can stuff in their pouches. Nice soft focus on everything but the subject. Well done.

In the thumb the flag looked cut and pasted. Now I see why. Very unusual drapery! Nice find.

The texture works well with the blurred background, and the pelican stands out nicely. Subtle tones are nice.

Mallard butt! Mallard butt! (Ha,ha, he said mallard butt.)

This has a wonderful painterly quality to it. Love the overlay. (I think I'll steal it.)

I love old truck photos, and this is a good one. Well exposed with a very nice pastel feeling.
