American Goldfinch

Hello :)
How is this photo? I'm new to bird photography and processing photos. Is the text tacky? Is the image too saturated? Tinted weird?

Thanks!

Great Blue Heron

I got my first ever camera less than 3 weeks ago because I wanted to document the birds I saw or ID them later if I didn't know at the time. I've now stumbled into a new hobby I never thought I'd enjoy, photography!

I have no idea what I'm doing and would like some critique of these Great Blue Heron pictures.

I have a Panasonic FZ80D. It's infinitely better than what I'm used to from a phone camera, but I'm wondering how I can get better photos.

I struggle immensely with getting the birds in focus. I don't know if the "blur" I'm seeing is just the ISO, zooming in too much, or the quality of my camera. I take tons and tons of photos each time I shoot a bird and pick the one that looks the best.

This week I started attempting processing photos and I'm worried about over saturating or "adding" colors to the image that aren't really there. A lot of tutorials I've seen online talk about noise reduction or sharpening the image, but they don't work well because my images lack the fidelity and detail to make those methods work. They're always just a tad too blurry/noisy.

Anywho, thanks for reading this nonsensical ramble.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :D

Thanks

Visiting Duluth for birding

I'm looking to be in Duluth for the first time and spend a few days birding. So far I'm looking at doing Waabizheshikana Trail at sunrise and Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve.

Is the reserve a trail, building, open park? I don't really know what it is or how available it is to the public.

I've never been to the Great Lakes and hope to watch birds over the open waters, are there any good locations and times? What about boat watching?

Anything else I should consider before planning my trip? It would be this season. Maybe I'll return for the hawk migration and to see the winter birds in the future.

Stores that sell cameras???

Best Buy was absolutely no help and I wasted a bunch of time looking for an electronics store that no longer exists. Does anyone know where to buy a camera?

I think I just bought an AI art piece. The seller doesn't do refunds or cancellations. What do I do?

I'm buying this price for religious purposes and I specifically wanted to buy something human-made that was of good quality. I'm looking at the photos and I just noticed that the design feels off in an AI kind of way. I'm new to Etsy and I don't see any way to cancel the order and the seller doesn't accept refunds. What do I do? I really don't want AI generated pieces in my ceremonies.

I'm creating an altar for the first time and I can't find any diagonally designed altar cloths. Does anyone know where I can find something like this?

This image is an alteration of an altar cloth that I liked, but the sigil is horizontal.
