I like 1 and 2. Number one looks very elegant and formal. I'd use this one if you were a wedding photographer. Number 2 is clean, easy to read and looks more playful.

"The Smokies got their name from the Cherokee people. They called it “Shaconage” (shah-con-ah-jey) which means “place of the blue smoke.” The name comes from the blue mist that floats above the peaks of the mountains. European settlers moved to the mountains in the late 1700s."

Thank you very much Mr. B. I appreciate your comments.
I sent the picture to a friend, a pretty avid birder who said he looked it up and it was a House Finch. No offense but I will let you and him argue it out.
Personally I won’t remember the next time anyway.
Thanks again,
Dennis

Hey Dennis, Send your buddy this photo:
Never let it be said my biology degree went to waste.

Can you recommend a video trainer that can simply explain to an old goat like me on how to set up and use Luminar neo. II found a few on utube that are over my head 3 minutes into the video.
Thank in advance for your reply.

Thank in advance for your reply.

Start with the Skylum Neo user guide:https://userguide.skylum.com/hc/en-us/articles/11541976239890-Working-with-the-Essential-Tools
I also find Anthony Turnham's videos helpful:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy_8aZqrImwLILoZJdzF7ERuYwttFzanV
If the videos appear to too fast for you to follow, just go into the video utilities menu and slow the speed down. It can really help.
Good luck. Be patient. Learning any new processing system takes time.

Hi Dennis,
It's actually a House Sparrow. Introduced into New York about 1850, it's [population soon exploded and it's found almost everywhere. It's considered invasive and is not protected under any state or federal laws.

Yeah, but the Pony Express advertised for small, light weight riders.

I know spring has arrived when the flies show themselves. This is my first fly of the 2014 season and the little bugger made the mistake of annoying me so that was the end of it. I caught it in a pill bottle and took it downstairs to stage it for a focused stacking session using a 5X microscope objective as the optic of the camera.
Swat'em if you got'em..!

Well, thanks, but after several tries, I managed to get the camera tethered with a USB cable, but then the Eclipse Maestro program told me that my Canon R5 camera is not supported. Argggg!
If it isn't one thing, it's another! I had a similar support problem with my older version of Lightroom and ended up switching to Luminar Neo. Good luck!
