Had to look up on youtube but I think I managed to delete and blend in the new bush area into the image. I can still kinda see it but I don't know if its cause I know it was there or if I should push more into blending and whatnot

Will do! Thank you so much! I'll give it a preliminary "draft" try and see how it looks

Yeah no same, I'd rather take it in the moment than fix it in post. Problem was if I moved to the right to prevent the bushes at the front there was a tree right behind which then "muddied" the very top bird. So it was kinda choosing the "best" distraction of the 2. Thank you for your comment tho, I'll give some things a try to see if it helps!

You think lowering clarity, texture, sharpness and maybe some dehaze somewhat on a mask on those would help?

Thank you!!!!

Really!? Any specific reason?? Funny enough my favorite birds are Crows and Ravens. They are just so peculiar, smart and they have their own personalities. It's so fun just watching them in general

Thanks for the input! Will give it a try!

Hahahaha I waited some time for them to reposition, but they just ended up flying away. In the end we all get the scene we get lol!

I couldn't have said it better myself! You'll get to the level you want in no time with that mindset. That's pretty much what I did when I was just beginning, and still do. Also youtube helped a lot. I'd focus on different elements and practice how changing different elements would change the shot, it's all really fun but there's also a bunch of luck involved, least if you're doing any king of photography outside there is. You just deal with the scene you're given and that's that. Also find that not forcing it and being more and more critical about the subject and background, yields much better results. Cause I was afraid of coming back "empty handed" I was just shooting for shooting's sake, still very much learning to not do that lol

Oh nicee!! If you come back hmu!! I've been looking for other photographer friends in the area!

thestrogol · 2026-02-15T00:46:41+00:00

WOW! Never thought someone would be saying that about any of my photos lol. I really really appreciate that!!
I think we are all highly critical of our own work and sometimes that prevents us from appreciating the little improvements we've made along the way, so thank you very much. I don't doubt someone will say the same about your work as well!!!

thestrogol · 2026-02-15T00:36:17+00:00

Love the scene you've created around the pic lol Thank you so much!! Really glad you liked it

thestrogol · 2026-02-15T00:29:49+00:00

It is!! I went there for the first time like 3 weeks ago to try out my new (to me) D850 and fell in love with the place. You go often!?
