I honestly don't know what genAI filter is... 🤷😆
I shot this into the early morning light (backlit by a low sun), which resulted in some noise and underexposure, then increased exposure and shadows in processing and denoised it. Is that what you mean?

Thanks so much Sheryl - glad you like it 🙏🤗

Good morning 🌞

How's my hair...?!

So true - all a matter of perspective 😆🤗

Rob Crank says: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ComeEatWithMe, birds who have food in their beaks.

Not sure if Goslings are *supposed* to eat feathers before lunch, but this one sure thought it was a good idea 😍🪶

Great shot. Such a difficult species to get a decent frame of I find. Haven't got a single one. Congrats!

Fantastic 😍

That sounds marvelous 🥰

Brilliant. Seems like they're on the move at the moment... 👍

Man, I've had a Ruff day... 😮‍💨

Thank you so much Leo.
And yes, these plovers in particular seem to be quite okay with me being around them flat on my tummy. It seems like some of the sandpipers are a bit more skittish/with a lower level of tolerance for proximity...

Thanks Doc!
