Returning to POTN

Its been a few years since I was on this great forum and actively engaged in my bird photography hobby. Life happens. But I'm back now. I see I have a lot of work just dusting off the cobwebs on my photo skills and PP. Here is a simple Chickadee from the same location I used a few years back.

As before, I appreciate and respect any feedback.

Dave

Welcome Back Dave! A fine looking Chickadee!

Very nice shot Dave! and welcome back.

That's a 'keeper' Dave! Welcome back... look forward for more images!

Lovely shot!

What great detail in the feathers

Thank you all for welcoming me back and the kind words.

Good to be back. Can't wait to get more images going.

Dave

One more Chickadee image. The background is a little busy, but he posed so proper for me I had to take his picture. Hopefully I'll get some less common birds to photograph soon!!

Also, a question; Would someone remind me how to keep EXIF data imbedded in the posted images?

Dave

Welcome back Dave, great set. I especially like the last Chickadee.

Are using "save for web and devices" out of Photoshop? Doing so will omit the the EXIF in your file. Save as a Jpeg using "Save as" and EXIF should be in tact.

Thanks Steve. I recalled it being something simple but I just couldn't pull it out of my memory.

And I was using "save for the web" in Photoshop.

Dave

Great shots and welcome back

I'm pretty new here too, but welcome back, Dave.
Lovely captures--especially #2.
Keep 'em coming!
