Interestingly, PS's shake reduction is gone from 2023. I used it a lot and wonder what has replaced it.

Rongnongno, how did you merge the masks? Did you have to switch clouding masking off to get the local masking?

Bridges, this is a wonderful shot. Off-topic but certainly lovely to see. Thanks for posting. PS How much post-processing did you do?

Interesting how people revere various styles and features,
liking some, hating others,
sometimes intensely.

A little haiku to start the day. Thanks.

Might this not have been a candidate for focus stacking?

Though I am not ready to take the plunge, my 80D is a remarkable camera. For someone with a limited budge but wanting to move up, this is an excellent way to go.

This is truer than ever before for two reasons. Computerized cameras get such great exposures and colors. The vast majority view pictures on a small hand-held device only. For them, pictures are no more than a mere snapshot. Meaningful pictures get lost in hundreds of forgettable ones on their device.
I have spent great time and effort to improve a picture making a ho-hum snapshot into a memorable picture that prints nicely at 8x10. They could care less but I am exciting and pleased despite the time invested and their indifferent response. But I am probably the only one who has experienced this....

The odd numbered ones really stand out for me. One: the lovely sky, the pretty water. Three: the drama. Very reminiscent of the style of the 30's and 40's. Very powerful. Five: that whimsical shack, hut, building or whatever you want to call it. I can imagine a guy with a strong brogue, suspenders, checkered red shirt, and long beard living there. Thanks for posting.

The real challenge is how you are going to market them. Without aggressive marketing, they will die on the vine. Have you considered print-on-demand instead? Good luck.

If you want to see some extraordinary multiple flash pictures, look up O.W. Link and his night time railroad train photos. Artistically and historically interesting, technically great. https://www.incredibleart.com/o-winston-link/

Good subject and pose. Do not like the rendering: too contrasty and miss not seeing all of the cap. Too tightly cropped on the sides.

Here is a before and after picture using the new subject masking tool in Lightroom. I used the tool twice. First to brighten the bee and then to darken the background. The tool took a few seconds, much faster than I thought it would take. Give it a try.

Thank you for all the suggestions, much appreciated it.
But what are you going to do?

Be a sport and give them for free. After all, you are an amateur. Rowing pictures are pretty lackluster. The good shots are when they come ashore and your see how hard they work and the exhilaration of finishing.
