Description
This is a male mallard on a local pond.
A little less than a year ago, I was diagnosed with it Advanced atypical Parkinsons disease with multiple complications. I spent three weeks in the hospital I don’t remember any of it. The fact that I’m able to write this sit down or stand up and take photographs would amaze my doctors. My case is so complicated that several University of Washington movement disorder specialists were unable to take me on and I’ve been lucky to find care. I’m doing well now but that could change at any moment. I have to take a lot of pills but fortunately am eating and sleeping well. Not something I would recommend. But I think awareness of this horrendous disease process is important for people to understand is becoming a lot more common.
In, the year of my absence, Photoshop, photo lab, and light room have all changed it don’t work as well or work differently than they did before. I’m having to relearn how to use the software again. I’m very fortunate to remember the basics. In any case, Dennis Plank
has been very helpful.and I’m starting to get the hang of it. I’m finally able to sit down and spend several hours at my computer and am really enjoying it. Yes I do have some limitations but I’m going to do is best I can. I think this has a painterly feeling to it. Along with the water, that is why I like it.
Specific Feedback
it is not quite in perfect focus although the head is. I like the water
