Thanks. I’d say improvements to both software and my editing skills. I wasn’t using DxO 3 years ago. But also, I wasn’t selectively editing different areas. Here, I reduced microcontrast to eliminate the busy bokeh the 300mm is known for. Also played with highlights, black point, and vignetting to make the fox pop and the background disappear a bit.Wow, well done Chris. And what were the changes made? Sharpening, noise reduction or de hazing? But you don't have to tell. The first one a crop is included. Was it you or did the software improve as well?
Well done for keeping the raw files, it’s one thing I hope we all do, even if, like me, we store them off the hard drive away from the computer.Went back for the first time in 3 years to re-edit some photos of an arctic fox I captured in 2019. Very happy I now keep and shoot RAWs, as I believe I’ve improved my editing skills drastically since then. Finally able to get rid of the annoying bokeh from the originals.

Thanks. And yes, these RAWs from all my older trips are stored on an external drive. I only wish I shot RAW the first couple years I started shooting again when I lived in Colorado and was climbing mountains. All jpgs. Big regret.Well done for keeping the raw files, it’s one thing I hope we all do, even if, like me, we store them off the hard drive away from the computer.
I've just batch processed some RAWs from my Nikon E5000 from Bridge. What a difference going from CS2 to CC 2021 made!Thanks. I’d say improvements to both software and my editing skills.

Impressive shot! Looks like the one was letting you know you were getting in a little too close perhaps.
