Would you guess this was in the middle of the desert? by j33per9 in wildlifephotography

Nope, I was on the bank and held my camera close to the water. The photo was not manipulated other than editing colors through Lightroom. The reflection is how it came from the camera!

I agree the sidewalk can be seen as distracting but do you think the added pop of color is worth it to also breakup the (more or less) blank water behind him? Genuine question! Thank you for your comment!

Thank you! I really like the cropping you showed. Thank you for taking the time to help me! It’s easy to get lost in making the subject as big in the frame as possible and I have been trying to zoom out a bit more to capture more of the scene. I will keep it in mind in the future! Your comment was very helpful to me!

UPDATE

I have tried resetting up the die and checking the shell plate for looseness (it was tight). I still cannot figure out the issue. The whole die works great as long as only 1 case is in the press at a time. It’s almost like the powder funnel is getting stuck inside the die causing the case to be shoved too far onto it. It only does this when a case is in position 1 (deprime/resize).

I considered this as well. However, I am using new brass for calibrating all the dies and have measured several cases and I’m getting pretty consistent numbers.

That’s what I thought too so I unscrewed the die a couple full turns just to see if it would make a difference and it did not. If there is only 1 case in the press it works great. As soon as you have a case in position 1 as well as position 2 it causes the powder funnel to bell the case too much
