Couple of small birds that allowed me to get close enough at the refuge.

Wow, you really brought things out of shadow and still got a lot of detail. It would be interesting to see the original to see how much processing you had to do (and how much can be done).Comment

Originals, with only basic default sharpening. You can click these images to go to my smugmug site and see the full size originals. It was "cloudy bright" conditions--which are my absolute favorite. Thin layer of clouds that diffuse the light.

Very cool, thanks. That first one in particular really pops with the processing.Comment

On continued looking, I should lift the shadows more and brighten the 2nd one. It's more detailed than the first. The first one is backlit by the diffuse sun, so I had to capture it darker than normal to prevent blowing out the detail around the outline of the bird--especially the beak--and then lift it in processing.Originally posted by mtnbiker View PostComment

Nice pics. Dillon Falls, I presume."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Here's the same scene but just a single capture. In a single capture, I have to capture the scene as darker than actual because otherwise the sun blows out everything. Still can make for a dramatic photograph. The HDR above is a blend of 5 images and therefore better matches the original scene. The single capture is sharper since the HDR image is a blend of 5 images captured hand-held.
As a reminder, a full screen browser will allow these images to be seen at their best, otherwise you've got in browser resizing going on which is always messy.

Nearing the end of the fire in the backyard fire pit.
Taken with Galaxy S7, which captured a lot more yellows than what I'm seeing in person. I see much more red tones, not much yellow.
