How this works
You have a card full of almost.
- Workshopscost a weekend and a flight, and come around twice a year.
- Forumsgive you noise, ego, and “nice capture” — rarely the real reason.
- Generic AIhands out empty praise. A thumbs up is not a critique.
- Aloneyou can't edit what you can't see. Blind spots stay blind.
Tap it. Same bird, same morning — but one looks you back. The difference wasn't the edit; it was dropping the camera to its eye.
