Thanks, I use Topaz 2 but mine doesn't preserve it unless there's a camera setting that allows it that I'm not aware of.

OK, no problem, keep the images coming. You take nice pictures.

Like the perfect reflection and golden color.

Does the bird have a duck father and a chicken mother?

Thanks, I appreciate the nice compliment.
I will have to taste the bird to see if it is part chicken.

Everything about this is lovely Ulrike.
Beautiful bird in equally nice setting.
That soft light has really helped make it special.

Thanks Mike.
I was watching the juniors playing and he was watching us all from on high so I just had to try my hand against the sky.

Certainly a magnificent photo in that beautiful light.
Very nicely presented

Very attractive little bird and beautifully composed.

Thank you very much.

Thanks. I ran across this article that talks about the CR3 file format if you care to look at it.

Nice set. Since you have an R7 also I have to ask if these were taken in RAW or JPEG and what software did you use. Are you using LR? I understand that Adobe LR preserves the exif from RAW CR3. I'm having trouble with my software, (Topaz 2) it doesn't preserve it. Thanks for any help.

Definitely sporting some "eye shadow"! Great shot Tom.

Very nice Lester, I've not seen a Dipper.
