I like the dreamy look though I think the flower itself should be sharper. Overall, very effective.

Very nicely done. Certainly one of the better bird posts. Two suggestions: bring out the whites a wee tad more and get rid of that drip. Thanks for posting.

thank you for everyone's help! still working I just do not photoshop that well trial and error!
No need for PS. LR works like a charm. Read previous post on how to do. Squeezing it together for the cover makes no sense at all.

If you’re in Lightroom (or Camera Raw in Ps), use a combination of Saturation and Luminosity sliders, that way you will get the brightness where you want it and keep it colourful if that’s your desire.
This is what I have done first. Usually works like a charm.

Try cropping so that the horizon is about a third from the top and then again with it about a third from the bottom. Either has a big effect on how you react to this scene.

I have been admiring all these posts for the gorgeous blues and whites. You have such clean air up there and it makes a big difference in your pictures. I do not always like the compositions but I sure like the colors and sharpness. Thanks for posting.

Like the previously posted shot, I find the background terribly distracting. The stop action is neat but its beauty is lost in all that clutter. Suggestions: make downloadable so we can appreciate the capture and crop tighter.

Bob, make this easy on yourself. Call Adobe. Good luck and please post the solution.
PS I did not have this problem.

I had no problem whatsoever. It may have updated it but since it went smoothly, I simply do not remember. The latest version represents another nice advance in LR. The AI selection tool is great.

...I've heard, seen comments over the years about folks "never needing" to fine tune their lens to the body they use....
In all the times I have seen that remark, the poster has never said that the lens was ever calibrated. Just because he thinks his pictures are sharp, he does not know if they could be sharper. For him, good is good enough. I wish people would stop posting untested claims.

Save your time and money. I have tried to calibrate my lenses in all kinds of cheap ways just to waste an immense amount of time. I use FoCal now. Absolutely worth the $.

Thanks Ken, I've found insects are nowhere near as plentiful as they were a few yeas ago...every day I do the rounds of our garden and a lot of days I don't even turn the camera on...I've discussed this with friends in the Museum, they also know it but can't offer any thoughts on why... 
The explanation is simple: man. I will stick to the science, not the politics. Global warming, a/k/a climate change, pesticides, encroachment, pretty lawns. Try those as starters. In live in the Chicago area and see the same things. I can count only on a few bees for insects. I have a lot of milkweed planted but saw about two monarchs last year. My bird population has dwindled to mainly sparrows and finches. My days of being a backyard photographer are just about done.

I have the Canon version of this lens and think very highly of it. I use it for wildlife and have gotten great shots with it. You cannot go wrong with it.

Some manufacturers will not even service their gray market products. Look at the difference in price as the cost of an insurance policy that will give you peace of mind in case of a problem. Penny wise and dollar foolish.
