Wandered over to my neighbor's place to mooch a free cup of coffee.
Got distracted by the lighting on this scene and forgot the coffee.
Glad I hadn't forgotten my camera!
(Now I'm wondering what I owe my neighbor...)

(PS: I liked the low key lighting on my monitor, but it didn't post as well here as I had hoped.)

Good use of light To show off the colors of the foliage of the Canal lily. Good catch.

I believe it turned out beautifully. You can post the issue of any uploading problems in the Troubleshooting Section. You will receive assistance.

Wonderful lighting. Nice shot!

Very nice lighting that brought out some great colors. The only thing I can think is your original file size was over 1mb, which would result in pretty severe compressing when it was uploaded.

Perfectly done. Really great moment caught here.

What we are seeing here is pretty impressive. But if you want members to see your original, you might want to consider using some type of cloud storage that allows sharing of higher quality, larger size images - eg OneDrive, Flickr, etc that you can link to in your posts?

Thank you, TT. I don't know if there was any problem with uploading; I don't know much about such things. I think it is probably just something I don't understand about full file size and posting small jpg files.
But if it looked acceptable to you folks, that's good. That helps me to learn how to do this digital stuff.
I'll keep in mind what you said about the Troubleshooting Section.

Thank you for this observation on file size.
I had suspected something like that.
I looked at the file size when I exported to jpg, it was below 1mb according to Affinity (PP), but it still got compressed some -- 85%.

Glad you appreciated the lighting such as it appeared on the post.
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've started to wonder if there are other ways to show larger images; I appreciate knowing about this, and will look into it.
(Things don't work the same way they used to when we merely ordered a Cibachrome print.)
