Re: Need Critique/Honest Feedback/Suggestions for Improvement
Thank you, Jack. TBH, I am not a fan of either version. I like the concept of the first one where there is a clear dividing line, but I think it is a bit too harsh of a divider for me. I would at least like to get similar skies and horizon, I think. Maybe. Something that clearly shows two worlds, but does line up a little better. Hard to do when you cannot control what happens with half the image. The second version like you said is a bit too make-believe for me. That's probably why I am not enamored with it. The important part of all this is that my niece (and her husband) did not like the first version at all, but they absolutely LOVE the second one. They printed a large one and have it hanging in their baby's room. They were the ones I was trying to please. So even though "I" am not happy with the result, they were and I guess that's what really matters.
Still, I value your feedback. I think you expressed what I was feeling when I couldn't figure out why I was feeling that way. Awesome. Thank you.

Re: Wild Horses of Corolla Beach
Nice pictures. A several years ago, my wife, daughter and grandson went on the jeep tour, and saw them. We rented 2 jeep and had a great time. Haven't been back to the outer banks in a few years, but we love to vacation there. I was in the service in North Carolina and it ever since, it seems like home to me.
Thanks for posting, it brought back some good memories

Most kingfishers don't sit still that long - great catch with great complementary colors!

A Couple Short Eared Owls
I continue to edit older images shot a year ago, but I think these two frames of SE owls are worth a look, maybe.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park
There are millions of images in the world of this grand place. Receiving over 12 million visitors per year, it easily takes the title of most visited national park in the United States.
Despite the high visitor count, you won't find many, if any, images from an aerial perspective, because flying drones from within the national park is strictly prohibited. However, with a little planning and input from the good folks at FAA, almost anything can be approved.
Taken with a small UAV sporting a 20mp Hasselblad camera, this image shows the beautifully folded landscape that makes up much of southern Appalachia. Looking at the image, it's hard to believe such magnificent mountains were once part of the sea floor.
If you ever get the chance to explore this great land, I highly recommend it. I grew up in these parts, and can assure you there are many treasures to behold.
Enjoy and Mahalo for viewing!
