Kelly Drive is a curving, pleasant road (except for a few would-be Formula-1 race-car drivers) that follows the east bank of the Schuylkill River through Philadelphia. It has a nice foot/bicycle path, that we followed a couple of mornings ago. Rowing and racing 8-person shells on the river is a

Larry, I like these pics! I’ve never seen peacocks this close-up, and so haven’t appreciated the details of their colors. The exposure is tricky, as the bird is dark-colored and there is dappled sunlight. I imagine that you already did what you could with the exposure sliders in LR. A friend
