Wow, thank you for all the fantastic food for thought and support! I am overwhelmed by the many constructive and affirming comments - so many that I won't even try to respond to all of them individually.
Three things that I can distill out of this thread:
- I need to tone down my saturation/clarity/vibrancy
- I need to be more selective with which images I share
- I am on the right track in terms of timing and capturing the action
I have gone back to my images and modified my settings quite significantly and chosen only a few of the better ones, which you can view in my
Google Photos album here. Tell me what you think now? Is there more that I should do? I have also posted a second reply to the Pro's comment, sharing my modified images. Let's see what he says, if he responds at all.
