Your welcome. I hope you saw the very similar image I was describing as a "cousin" to your image?

Would you happen to have another photo of your white bird flying or doing anything more dynamic than standing?

Pls do not take offense and I do not imply any accusation but it looks like you had god-like powers to induce the

- heavy rain
- waves crashing
- clear skies

Yes, saw that '22 image of the year.

I've not done many BIF type shots. I have a few accumulated that I'd have to search through.

Sometimes one happens into great timing, those are such fun and exciting times as a photographer.

Common Yellowthroat, Female, Fall Migration

Northern shoveler during monsoon season.

Just a Laughing Gull, but quite the local celebrity here in Reno. Probably blown up from Mexico by the Hurricane Kay last week.

The beauty are listed as invasive species by experts.

Many of the experts are self proclaimed experts (in my opinion), RAL. So many countries have invasive species that have survived and done well. It's pretty much impossible to stop all invasive species. The ring-necked pheasant is an example of an invasive species in the US. Today they are well accepted and enjoyed by so many people here.

Thanks Mike. A friend suggested that I try feeding the final edited TIFF file through Topaz DeNoise AI. I did so and found that there is very little, if any, noise left in the result. I think that I'll play around with his idea a bit further.

Thanks for the tip, Larry. I've never tried running the final edited TIFF file through Topaz DeNoise AI. I'm going to give it a try.

A Coot.

This is the male Regent Bowerbird and a close up of the male Satin Bowerbird taken in the Lamington National Park.

The colour of the eye of the SBB is quite stunning.

Cheers

This is such a terrific shot, Dave! I absolutely love it.

You really captured this hen Northern shoveler very nicely, Manny! I like the swirls and colors in the water, plus the low camera angle is great.
