Sedona's red sandstone obviously lends itself to some spectacular landscape elements (I explored Wiki earlier). Coincidentally, at this moment, my back is supported by a cushion featuring Pachamama - Earth Mother to the Incas, so it was interesting to read about the Yavapai having their Earth Mother too.

I'm looking hard and unsuccessfully for PF here and in the pigeon shot - have you had to remove much in post?

I'm running out of thumbs. So good!

Multiple thumbs up. I presume there's a chick or two in there being fed.

Yes. The scene was obviously swamped with green reflected from/passing through all the leaves, but you've tamed it well here, judging by the bird's wardrobe. Top timing and ace detail.

ok here's another pass.. mainly just cooling the white balance down

Putting that lens to good use already! This is a fabulous capture!

Great shot Todd, perfect timing!

Oh to get out again. And to a brewery! Mouth watering.

Love birds, lovely light. Nice rendering at 228mm!
