So, what is happening? I just clicked to view this thread and it's displaying in the old format, rather than that hideous bright red stipe etc. etc.

I can live with the change for posting photos but that horrid format with the bright red gives/adds to my migraine headaches - seriously, I'm not just an old stuck in my ways grump. :) If others like it, it's a democracy, and I'm OK with that.

I saw that this morning. I refreshed the page and it went back to normal. Software sucks.

Very nice - any way you could raise the shadows a bit?

Glad you like it. - The pict has already had the shadows lifted. This image was part of a sequence posted to a local birding group. The look is as close to what I saw as possible. Artistic choice I suppose.

I might try the photoshop processing mentioned in the thread for the fun of it. I shoot so much, I usually stay in LR to keep my workflow manageable .

Thanks for the comment. I'm not one who espouses major doctoring of photos and I don't sit in a particular camp on this - to do or not to do. For myself personally, my deceased friend and I would shoot at Elk Island National park where herds of bison roam. He would insist that his shot should be very dark because, well, when you looked out over the field of grass or snow they looked more or less black. The shot had to be just as it looked at that moment. As a relatively new photographer I thought long and hard about that and ultimately disagreed with him - we agreed to disagree. I was more interested in how it would look if it could be more favorably illuminated so I'd raise the shadows, mainly because if possible I'd like to see more detail.

Perhaps not everyone on CR is like me. I'm here to learn and so I question things - not to be critical though.

You say you had already raised the shadows so if it were me that's probably where I would stop and make the same comment you have made. That's how it looked. It's very nice and that's the end of the story. :)
