Beautiful birds with an amazing vocal range. I love them even if they are invasive here.

The processing looks fine to me, It’s just a tad soft. Was this at the extreme edge of the lens’ focal length? I do love me some mallards.

Gorgeous! It looks like caviar.

Thank you. For sure this was an awesome find. One of my favorite photos I’ve taken yet. I’m just glad I had my macro lens nearby.

My anecdotal experience, I’ve retreated away from popular social media platforms to more niche platforms like this. I want nothing to do with fake AI slop. It’s disappointing because I see my friends mindlessly consuming FB reels and TikTok slop for hours and hours and it’s like 40% AI from what I can tell. They just veg out on this slop for a concerning amount of time. I’ve tried to get them off that crap, but they’re addicted.

We had a wicked ice storm in the Midwest. Took out the power for the entire city for two days.

With as little effort as a branch. Truly beautiful creatures.

I’ve always liked the photos where the bird is partially obscured. It’s like they’re hiding from you.

You’ll want to watch this.

Ha, that’s right, but that didn’t stop him from trying.

Beautiful birds

Looks tasty and healthy. A win-win combo.

I would smash. Looks great.

Birds have crazy feet.

Awesome lighting! I love the spiderweb glistening. Very cool shot.

I love the lighting.

Wait, you know Nicole?

I wouldn’t say the cheese is all that dark. It’s a pan pizza made out of a bread style dough and I have a consumer oven. 450°F for ~20 with 5 min on the burner to crisp the bottom.
