This guy's color did not translate very well. I shoot and print in pro, post in srgb.

If you're s**k of it then that equates to a v**e for Trump. These troubled times are funded and promoted by the Democrats. They will not sleep until they have ruined the Country with their politically correct BS, the cop hating, the racial dividing, the promoting of socialism on and on and on.
Give them another four years of Trump and maybe they'll leave.

It must be nice to have someone to blame for all the problems. You light a match, starting the field afire and blame the firemen for not saving your house.

Ink cartridges

Precision Colors and your Pro 100, an excellent match. Refilling canon cartridges with Precision ink is easy and inexpensive, the chip re-setter restarts the ink tracking. The "Print Man" has numerous video's on why you should use only Canon cartridges and how to refill them.

Hawk keeps coming back to pose

Great capture of a juvenile Red-tailed hawk. What they call "light morph" or light juvenile.

Canon Pro 100 printing

I have used 3rd party ink (Precision Colors) in my Pro 100 for years. I changed from OEM to Precision in 2016 and have saved the cost of the printer 10 times over. I did have a problem with the yellow cartridge back then, I did not follow the directions for flushing the cartridge and it clogged. The solution then was to soak the cartridge in Ammonia and flush with running water. In all things Pro 100 the best advise is from The Print Man Jose Rodriguez. His videos are spot on, he has one on cleaning the print head.

Okay I can see it if I look only at the beak, but when I allow the eye to get included it looks like his head is turned 180 degrees like an owl's. And that just doesn't look right so my mind goes back to seeint only the left side.

Yes, you got it PhotogHobbisty. It just doesn't look right, probably why my mind just jumped on it.

Not sure what your seeing unlucky. From the bird's point of view, this is her left side. Were you smoking something "interesting" while taking the shot?

Look again RichinSeattle, from the birds perspective it is both the left and the right. Do you not see the beak appear to curve up.

I only see the left side, too.

Ok PhotoHobbyist, as Longshadow stated the curve of the beak is the giveaway.

Interesting TheShoe, not all can see. left and right are the viewers perspective, not the birds.

Yes, except for his beak turning up for the "right" side.

A fun picture, look at it one way and see the right side of the head, look again are you seeing the left side of the head.

The boring details.... The bird is a female Bullock's Oriole, the photo was taken with a 5Dsr, 100-400 MkII & 1.4 Tc , f/8 @ 560 mm and SS of 1000. ISO of 500. Taken through a dirty window.....my "dirty bird"

Is your brain playing a trick

once you see the left side it is hard to see the right side again.
