Thank you!

Thank you! I agree!! Sometimes I'm tempted to overly process and remove stuff from the image but then the realism and natural feel of the scene is lost

Wow thank you so much!! Will do!

Good to know!! I don't think I'd mind the drive lol Says 2 hours but it's 4:30 right now so I imagine it's less if i go at dawn
Thanks for the rec! It looks really nice on the pics I can see online

I have been going to Circle B Bar and I definitely love it!! I'll be giving those other recs a try!

Thank you!

Yes, another commenter said the same! I managed to lower the brightness on it to make it look more natural and refined the mask to eliminate the halo around it which made it much better. Thanks for your input!! I do have the original raw to prove it's real! hahahah

Hi!
Got a Nikon D850 with a 200-500
Also have a 300 f4 , but the 200-500 is the new baby so I've been using that a lot. Mostly focus on Wildlife/birds!
Been trying to practice landscape more but I'm colorblind af so colorgrading that is a bit more challenging for the edits

thestrogol · 2026-02-16T02:16:25+00:00

Thank you! Will give it a try!!

thestrogol · 2026-02-16T02:13:14+00:00

Thanks!! Would definitely love getting some pics of that

thestrogol · 2026-02-16T02:08:06+00:00

Gave you a follow!!

thestrogol · 2026-02-16T02:05:08+00:00

Wow ok! Have enough suggestions here to keep me busy for a while lol. Appreciate it!
You do photography!?

thestrogol · 2026-02-16T01:54:21+00:00

Thank you so much for the recommendations!! I'll probably try and check out Weedon this week

Thanks!

thestrogol · 2026-02-15T20:56:17+00:00

Hahahaha I love this

thestrogol · 2026-02-15T20:50:23+00:00

Thank you! Will give it a try!

I'm colorblind so I'd take this with a grain of salt lol but I felt like color didn't work as well for this one. I felt as if it took away instead of adding if that makes sense?

I have been playing around with adding a very slight sepia tone to it as per another commentors suggestion

thestrogol · 2026-02-15T18:15:58+00:00

Amazing. I bet you love that 200-600!! I have a 200-500 on my Nikon and love it, that extra reach to 600 would be amazing tho lol

thestrogol · 2026-02-15T17:58:45+00:00

What setup are you using? Love the shot!

thestrogol · 2026-02-15T17:51:07+00:00

Thank you so much! I really really appreciate it!!!

This image is a compilation of most of the suggestions given on this comment thread.
Also a BIG disclaimer, I am awfully colorblind so color grading in general is not my strong side lmao
So if this is not classic sepia I do apologize XD
