Can anyone even begin to hazard a guess why this particular image should be so popular? I can't.[/quote]

I think we took it for an actual photograph.

Canon T7i equals (
Almost) Canon 80D

As a non-restorer, what improvements should/could be made to the restored picture? It looks pretty good to a pre-amature, but I don't know what to look for.

I have never won an arguement with a pigeon.

Based on my UHH Avitar seems I should or may know, but I don't.

Thanks. I was wondering incorrectly how you had walked so far in a forest without spooking the bird. I need to drive and shoot more.

Nice. I think the 2nd one looks like me.

Katy, I like these pictures very much. How far were you from the first bird, and how far did you move between 2nd and 3rd pictures. OOM ( Order Of Magnititude ) OK.
Thanks, David B

Place the notch on the right on the top of one side of your motorboat, and you can keep up to 16 ski ropes separated.

Nice picture; evoked memories.

Late summer 1970 I drove a worn out Yamaha Big Bear motorcycle on Highway 50 from California to Kansas, then turned right towards Oklahoma. I don't remember seeing this scene, however I was not looking for it, and I did travel some at night as I was in a bit of a hurry to make it to Arkansas to participate in my sisters wedding.

(I was surprised that one day I drove through 2 towns both named Delta; one in Utah and the other in Colorado.)

Love it. However I can't make out the data on the lens. What is it please, and what camera. Thanks

I can't argue with that!

Thanks for the comments.

Detention is the available volume above the retention. Retention is also known as a "wet bottom". Semantics?

Concerning spelling, I agree it is not my strong suit. Attempting to be a courteous engineer, when asked "How do you spell "XXXXX", I respond with "How "I" spell XXXXX is YYYYY, always noting if you want to to know how to spell it correctly, to look it up in a dictionary.

I took this picture with my cell phone, near dusk, looking westerly. BlueMorel and dancers, the picture is very blurry, but I liked it. There is little to be gained by attaching a download. I have considered going back with my better camera to see what I can get. Incidentally, there is a 3 lane public street between the church and the detention "facility".

Water is a wet bottomed detention pond serving a medical facility across a major street from the church.

Pile seaward optical graphic "line" development amazing. Thanks to pier designer, installation contractor. and you rduckw, the photographer.
