That is so nice!

Jack D don't know if you have Lightroom, but I'd be interested in what the first flicker would look like with a touch of dehaze. That might be a Lightroom CC feature only though.

applecider, I haven't gotten into PP other than DPP and now I'm fooling a bit with NIK Dfine2. I'd be interested in what prompted the suggestion and any comments you're inclined to make. I don't have any problem with criticism aimed at improvement so feel free. It's folk that have spoken up that have nudged me in a positive direction as a complete novice so I'd rather hear criticism than praise; well, a little praise once in a while is OK.
For context I'm house bound with repairs and just wandered out to throw some corn for the ducks and there he/she was so I raced into the house, slapped the 300 X2 on the 6D but didn't optimize my settings in the rush. I was so sure it would take off quickly.

I don't generally take the time to reply individually but I'm sure impressed with recent postings. Great pics.

Jack about the first flicker picture, it just had an overall grey almost foggy feeling and I thought that the dehaze might nudge it a little into more clarity. I admit that I don't know what individual parameters dehaze changes, but I've had a few images that pop a bit after using it. Like it the way it is just wondering.
It does not however apply a finish to the floor.....

Gorgeous weather up here in Alberta and I'm house bound. Renos are the pits because every activity leads to another unrelated and all the activities damages other items ..... ugh.
Here is another shot. ISO 2000 640th F6.3 300 X2 6D all focus points because I was anticipating a flight shot, so maybe a touch front focused but if it's hazy I don't know what's up.
