E.J., Thanks, I'm a big fan of your photos. Especially in the landscapes section, I can look at all the photos posted and the one that I think is the best is almost always one that you posted. I continue to learn from your images.

Really nice...I have a question...when do you stop with saturation and vibrance in PP, this species makes everything else look drab.

Mike, I never use any saturation on a male Painted Bunting.  In fact, I rarely use any saturation on any bird.  Sometimes, I'll use just a tad of vibrance, but not ever very much on a male Painted Bunting.  On this photo, I was plus 10 clarity and plus 5 vibrance.
