I like the photos, well done. You could easily improve them with Topaz AI.
I have the other three Topaz programs and just recently added Photo AI. What I have found is that I use the Photo AI program now exclusively. Experimenting on photos between one or two of the other programs, i.e. Denoise, Sharpen, I saw no advantage using the two programs separately. The difference was much time saved using Photo AI. Great program and very flexible on manual.

Just to go further down this Rabbit Hole, I have a general question on this topic.
Considering that we are making an image to be viewed ON electronic media [TV, LCD Projector, etc]
is there any thought to processing that image for maximum quality on THAT PARTICULAR device?
If so, Suggestions?
My thoughts exactly. I don't print my photos, but watch them on a 4K screen.
Does anyone use an Oled TV to post process pictures? What are your thoughts? Thank you for any reply.

Of course, this implies that you know what the intentions of a humorous statement were. Chg-Canon either posts very good information or makes funny comments. He clearly enjoys the responses he gets from people who don't perceive his comments to be humorous. To be honest, so do I. As to his intentions, he would have to be retarded to believe you're not a photographer unless you shoot Canon. But, from his serious posts, we know he is a smart fellow. So this should tell you that his intentions are to be funny.

I was over at Home Depot yesterday and I needed two pieces of wood that they cut for me. When I tried to put in my car, I discovered that they were 1" too big to fit in the car unless I wanted to drive without a seat back. A carpenter saw my dilemma and helped me by driving the boards to my house and refused a tip. I had 6 pieces of bead board that I was going to throw away and he indicated a desire to pay me for them. I gave them to him. Was that a largesse?
I love stories like that.

Good for you! I feel that it's fine to tell it here because no one here is gonna rush out and tell who did it and it may encourage more to do the same.
A while back, I got in the checkout line at Walmart with about $160 worth of items in my cart. A young man in front of me never even looked to see how much I had. He just said, "I'm paying for hers too" I said "Oh no". he said "Don't ruin my joy, lady. Let me do this."
I do smaller things. I make greeting cards with prints of some of my paintings on the front. On the inside, I add a bible verse and put "My only wish is that it could be a larger amount." On the envelope, I put "If you find me, open me now." I put $10-$20 in it. I leave it in the busy section of a store, Walmart, Lowe's, a shoe store, a pharmacy.....pay it forward for my millions of blessings. I only do this once or twice a week. Maybe I should try to do more...
Good for you! I feel that it's fine to tell it her... (

Such responses are a joy to read.

Took my wife and daughter to I-hop for breakfast. When it was time to pay I asked the waitress how much she wanted for a tip. She asked how much it should be, or how much she wanted? I said, how much do you want? She was quiet for a while and said $100.00. So that’s what I gave her. I just can’t believe how much joy that has given me for the rest of the day.
Be kind, be generous, and experience the joy of giving.
My guess is you too received your money's worth of joy. A feel-good story!

It's a very reasonable price for the lens.
I would jump on it if I didn't already have the same lens.
It's my main lens.
Thank you for the feedback.
Here is the only one I found online from KEH for $1136 plus tax and shipping.
I have had no use for the lens on my 5d3 camera for years, why would I keep it for the R5? The problem is not the lens, the problem is that I don't use it.

What Canon Lens did you sell thru CL?
I can't figure out what relevance that has to selling my 70-200 here.
A few years ago, after coming into money unexpectedly, I bought a bunch of lenses on Amazon new for my 5D3. The majority of them ended up hardly ever used. I recently switched to mirrorless, bought a Canon R5 with RF lenses, and sold most of my EF lenses through Craigslist, where the buyers stopped by to pick them up. This lens is not a 9+, but in as new condition, since I only used it a few times indoors when I first bought it, and it was stored the rest of the time. It is version 1.
Asking $895. If you live close to Boise, Idaho, you can pick it up and examen it. Pay through PayPal.

It defines both! Without a subject, you can't define the beholder in the context of beauty.
