not much
They were more documentary / environmental type of shots pertaining to a rare bird and otter behaviour in a specific area. Nothing i would have chosen had I been the judge. and not a huge competition either.
Indeed, but as I noted in the photo I posted, I believe the upsizing looked pretty good .... that's the case I find interesting. I know it is a relatively low-res image, but could you tell the Pelican I posted was upsized? Zoomed to 100% on my 5k monitor with the original image one might guess that .. but at normal size it's pretty solid.
Fair enough. Your eye might be better than mine. Here is the same shot, with a touch of grain added to the bird. Does it still look too creamy to you?
you linked to a google search?

Good post.

I've wondered just how many wildlife shots involved a lot of bait over time in many of those circumstances. Like that mountain lion example. How many Nature episodes and whatnot over the years did they just have bait stations nearby.
Where I grew up in Maine there used to be hordes of herring gulls and black back gulls. The bald eagles were very rare, then they came back and ate all the gulls on the nesting islands so it's now the opposite. You barely see any seagulls in that area.
Here's one. Not baited, coerced.
Agree, and well said!
I grew up on one of the islands, Isle au Haut. There's more eagles the further east you go. I'm actually in the process of moving back having lived all over the country to make enough money for a retirement.
