Interesting internal structures (skeleton) of the decaying cacti.
Haven't come across that video vs. stills situation before, but then Petrov tends to be out when the sun is high to get nice sea colours.

Great colours and nicely timed. That gull has a prime viewpoint; the heron couldn't care less. San Diego?

Surprised how little distortion is apparent - did you defish it? Nice clean edges against the sky and an inviting warmth everywhere.

Wonderful pop for the woman and so expressive; very strong engagement with viewer:thumbup:.

Sounds like a plan; it's a beaut. image.

A hard capture to get "right" at the outset I imagine, with that harsh sky, but the tile detail and the slight tone variations in the terracotta are delightful.
Can't help but admire the painstaking work of the artisans designing and assembling these buildings.

I like how well the shadow detail has been recovered, but I prefer the darker sky of the original.

Looks pretty good for a video dump. Have you done this often enough to build a feeling for how close these might get to a native still?

Still plenty to admire in those lovely eyes and such a contrast to Mishka's green ones. Gorgeous fine detail.

I like the more subdued character of the lower leaves; lots of nice leaf venation appearing.
