FREE SUNDAY once again. Been a good week, lots of thinking for originality and today we can post what we didn't last week or start anew.
Personally I am somewhat handicapped by transportation so I took a bike ride this afternoon.
Posting now because they'll be racing in Charlotte in a bit.....
Have a good evening

Ah .............. it's a jpeg, some would say it's processed, but I know what your saying ......
I noticed some interesting settings .......
Not being critical, just know the camera is capable of doing better than what you shared ...... practice makes perfect :wink:
Though I will say I love the water drops on pix #2, makes it interesting :thumbup:

Posting tonight too. There's a beautiful old house in POrtland in the nicer old section of the city. Each year they must add more bulbs. The corner is tiny and loaded with blooms.
Bleeding hearts - in our own yard after the rain today
Even the ants liked it.

Your focus is off on #1, even with f8 stop, I think I would program for spot metering/focus ........ the pattern got lost in the white contrast, IMO ..........
On #2, notice how you filled the frame, this allowed the pattern focus to see nothing but the duck, thus good focus. On #1 & #3 you pointed at the face but because you were in 'pattern' the camera got confused ........ change to spot ......

A busy day coming for Sunday as our son and his family are here for the weekend--so will post these now.
grand daughter waiting for the soccer game to start
an interesting old railroad bridge that is still in use---have driven by it for years, but took the time to walk a ways over to it
as I was up early Monday am i noticed that all the dew drops on the grass were just sparkling as the sun was hitting them. threw a sweat shirt on over my pajamas and was out kind of laying in the grass for longer than I had anticapated---good thing no one drove in the yard about then--it was not a good sight! Good thing I live in the country on a dead end road
