Your backgrounds are beautiful. Still I like to mix things up. The sharpe bird in a sharp background made me refocus my appreciation of images. I guess, I am saying I enjoy the deferent artistic view points of different photographers. Also, I do not mind modest computer improvements in back ground blur. I remember your Go to Layers, New, Copy ViaCut, Field Blur, Be restrained. Practical deep dives are hard to find. Of course I would like to see more. How do you bring out the best in a photograph in which every thing is sharp?If you want to take your wildlife photos to the next level, you gotta start with the background.

Fortunately I've resolved the "husband" question in my own way but I agree with you about taking pictures to share with folks who will never have the privilege of seeing what I've been able to photograph. @Steve has helped me get much more accomplished with what I can share, and with one candid photo critique has also raised my standards for what I consider share-worthy. Which doesn't diminish the joy of taking the photo at all.Thanks @Steve I think the best thing is for all of us is to enjoy what we do. As an "older" retired lady, I no longer have time to worry about what I do, but to enjoy what I do. Now, if someone could stop my husband from cringing everytime I mention new camera equipment, we'd be grand.
Great tips Steve. Background blurring is not a thing to worry. An AI powered photo editor can bring the required blur for me.If you want to take your wildlife photos to the next level, you gotta start with the background.

Good tips. Most I try to do whenever Possible. As for post, I love using the new blur options in PS and LR and use them a lot. I am often having to do bigger crops with shorter glass and this tool can makes things really nice. It’s tricky though and you have to very careful as it will often blur things you don’t want and this can be time consuming to fix. I will als sometimes just select the background and pull back clarity and texture a bit with a bit of LR noise reduction on the selected area. This can often soften things a bit in a subtle way. Recently I started using Pure Raw 3 and find it can work rea well instead of Topaz Denoise, my go to software for the past several years. I don’t do contests and I just photograph for my own pleasure and I have my likes and dislikes. I am not a purist and tend to avoid such states of mind.If you want to take your wildlife photos to the next level, you gotta start with the background.

I do this as well. I love Nik and use it on most of my final edits.
