Many good suggestions, and I too prefer the 2nd. Brings back memories of when we visited the Pyrenees about 10 years ago. (my how time flies...). The Pyrenees, especially the French side, is a ...

Focus stack?  Just try it...good photography involves a lot of experimenting.

Nice series.  Daughter was at Oxford for 5 years of grad school in the early 2010s, so we had many a trip to the area... Your second photo could use some adjustment, I think.  There's a blue cast ...

Nicely done and not over-baked.

Nice series.  Must have been challenging to get the exposure etc. right.

There's an excellent website dedicated to macro and micro photography, and the owner moderator is heavily involved. Highly recommend. www.photomacrography.net

It's waaaay over-baked, IMHO.  Too much saturation and too much lifting of shadows (HDR over-done?) ruined what could have been an interesting shot.

I went by it just before the stack leveling. Looks like less haze in the newer picture, but could be an artifact?  It certainly had an impact on haze in the area when it was operating, though.

What a device says about battery level and what the true battery level happens to be don't need to be the same thing.  Sophisticated devices like a laptop will have their own battery management ...

Nice series.  They are indeed an unusual moth.  I've had a few doubletakes over the years when I've seen them.

Fence?  I think it adds to the photo... When you darkened the sky, you unfortunately darkened part of the adjacent land too, making the adjustments too obvious.  If you used the right selection ...

Why dimming?  That significantly limits your choices, as does color temp adjustment.  You can "dim" just by moving panels further or closer.  Color temp you can address in post. I'd focus more on ...

The bw photo is very striking.  It really takes advantage of the lighting conrasts.

Chroma noise? Any kind of noise reduction process is prone to artifacts if applied too strongly.  Usually I see a kind of blurring of detail, but that may be software dependent.

Great series.  What I like best is that they don't look over-processed.  For example, either  you didn't use HDR or you did it with a light touch.

What cars?  :) Nicely done shot, but the frame, and the inside border, distract me.  Maybe you can educate me and tell me what you want to accomplish with them?

If you're not going to hike, and you don't have a 4wd, 2 hours from the time you turn off US160 could be plenty,  In the spring, zapata falls, for the adventuresome, is a great addition, but not ...

Strange effect?  Agree.  For a jpg, the file size is huge.  Did the OP upscale?  The image is loaded with jpg artifacts, and looks over-sharpened, but only at full mag.

Great series.  Can't even decide on a favorite.

travelfoodphoto, Is it necessary to quote and repeat all the pictures?  Doing so unnecessarily lengthens the thread, and is distracting for some of us.  Just saying...
