I find just walking around with a camera is relaxing. When in Pompano I
go to Butterfly World. Between the chamber music and beautiful, quiet
critters, my BP has gone done to 112/60. my doc tells me not to take the
BP medicine when here. Yesterday I went to an equine training school. It
was also quite relaxing, for me, not the competitors.

But why process it so that the colours are almost beyond recognition?
Awfully noisy for a D800 at ISO 1600 as well. Was it a crop from a much
larger image?

Understand, he's making "art" that starts as photos, not photos as art.

Art as defense for all criticism. constructive or otherwise.
Take, or process a photograph with truly awful results, then call it
"art" by stating that was always the intent of the shooter regardless
of how viewers perceive the work, and all is well.

You should relax a bit. :-)

I am doing exactly that since I killfiled one troll. Two others who
persist in off-topic posts are close! Recommended for a more relaxing
life.

I made my comment because your comment:

"Exactly, stop feeding the troll, and stop letting it taunt or annoy
you. You know what to do."

.... was made in response to my article in which I had thought I had
closed off the discussion. But now it continues. :-(

I find just walking around with a camera is relaxing. When in Pompano I
go to Butterfly World. Between the chamber music and beautiful, quiet
critters, my BP has gone done to 112/60. my doc tells me not to take the
BP medicine when here.

You want to be careful. My BP got down into those regions and one day,
on a trip, it got even lower. Here are (mostly) the official police
photographs https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zljywm6v2antj8q/p1Mv8kYMZB
It all happened on cruise control at 100 kph (60mph). Remember, we
drive on the left.

Now when my doctor says "Like a schoolboy's" I take it as a warning as
well as a 'complement'.

Yesterday I went to an equine training school. It
was also quite relaxing, for me, not the competitors.

No, and I'm not answering further off-topic questions.
Keep your mudslinging to private messages.

Then I wouldn't know for sure that you had not killed him. Have you
stopped kicking you're children? ;-P

You're = you are

It was a heavy crop. I was playing with a DXO preset, which caused the
color issue. Here is a better color version.
