this filter is called 'miniature' it blurs the edges to make the subject appear miniaturized.

thanks mike, welcome back!
caleb is doing well. he's mostly the same. he still picks at his chest a bit, still chews his feathers, and still plucks a bit round his chest but this isnt surprising to me or his vet. she said a couple years ago that he may never quit. and after all, he got this way over the course of years so IF he ever recovers, i suspect it'll take years to get there. his color has gotten much deeper from his high vit A diet. but generally speaking, he's doing well. he seems happy, so who could ask for more?  :loveuk:

You have some beautiful birds there! Both inside and out. I especially love the birdie butt photo. On another forum someone made a post wanting nothing but birdie butts. That was a fun one. People were following their birds around trying to get that perfect birdie butt photo.  :laugh:

Your camera is awesome Tozie!  Gorgeous colors it picks up.  :thumb: Your flock is still just as beautiful as always. And Caleb ' s bedroom looks suspiciously like Roscoe ' s ~~Totally a mess, but he's a happy boy when it's the messiest.  :dmblaf:

I got me a new camera last year and I'm still trying to figure out how to work most of it. I love the vivid setting. I use that on my white capped pionus to get the colors to show. She is colorful, but it takes strong light yo bring it out and that setting does it in normal lighting.  :twirl:
