Thanks for all the comments, I have indeed found them most informative, and will take note of every single one, and adapt accordingly.

FWIW, my ultimate goal is get onto the cover of Nat Geo, I know I’ve got a way to go, but I need to start somewhere.  Also just received the book “The Complete Guide to Nature Photography” by  Sean Arabi, so far it’s very informative.  This is not the only source I am using, but one that has been on my wishlist for awhile now.

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, I think I overdid it a bit in PP with WB.  I am still new at the digital darkroom, so maybe will bring that back a bit.

I agree, I need practice on portrait photography, not really the nice I want, and that shot was taken with a Takumar Bayonet 28 2.8 Manual lens, and adjusted in PP.  Wasn’t really a planned portrait shot, but I was satisfied enough with it to put it online.  TBH, I don’t want to do portraits as my main genre, but rather get into nature/wildlife, landscaping and maybe even some commercial stuff, I must still find my niche here.  But, if I can produce decent portraits, might look into as well.  I will not do weddings, in my experience that takes a certain dedication and style which is not my thing.

Yeah, I am glad I am not the only one looking for that “wow factor”, you should see the ones that didn’t make it, think my ratio is currently about 1:500
