Info Tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) on a nest box in Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. There's another similar one where it's looking straight ahead, but straight-ahead photos can be a little tough because their lores obscure their eyes. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk | 01:32, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support but there are a couple of dust spots... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:47, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Yes, several. And maybe also clone out the dark blurred thing (branches?) on left top. --A.Savin 07:43, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support I removed dust spots. How come you choose f/16, but it is still sharp. --Mile (talk) 08:55, 19 May 2021 (UTC) I removed the tree if wanted to overrite.[reply]
- Thanks for taking the time to do that. I went ahead and worked from the raw file to redo it. I usually prefer to use the minimum jpeg compression, too (presumably why the filesizes are so different?).
  As for f/16, I'm often in shutter priority mode based on how far I'm zoomed/how much the subject is moving, adjusting ISO based on light. Honestly, if I felt I had enough time, I would've made a couple adjustments here (ISO down to 200, and speed up a little to bring the aperture a bit wider), but in a couple hours of hanging around these birds this was the moment I was able to get physically closest so didn't hesitate, and I think the result is still pretty good. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 13:40, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
