Not competing, just experimenting with Generative Fill . . . Footnote/comment: This is a good example of the kind of editing I don't really enjoy, because it requires so little from me. If credit is to be given for this result, I get maybe 2% and the software developers get 98%. The new...

Question: How come this entry doesn't appear in the DD Derby thread? The list stops at No. 193. :hmmm:

I second Larry on the monstrous bird-killers and will let the photo make further comment. Not competing, just ranting. :clapping:

No, I said on the first version, "Not competing." I assumed that would be understood to apply to the second version as well.

Just a suggestion that you mull over this question: Do you seek a scientifically accurate rendering of the scene you saw through the viewfinder? Or do you seek an aesthetically good photograph? By way of guidance, Ansel Adams offered this: "There are no rules for good photographs. There are...

Not competing, just playing as usual. I noticed lots of bits of warm colors in the leaves, so I experimented with bringing those out while cooling the background. A warm/cool contrast.

From day-to-night to day-to-dusk. :headbang:

Not competing, just throwing a ball. Waiting now for the band and guests to arrive. :drinks: There may be drunks on the lawn before the night is done.

Just a little nonsense with the first two frames ... :hide:
