I make this image public for getting an impression of the AVIF format (can be opened in the latest IrfanView, Chrome and Firefox): Link to AVIF in Google Drive
The AVIF image compression (in the HEIF container) is a very promising format as it provides good image quality in a very small package and is (in comparison to HEIC) free of any licenses. I hope Flickr as well as Google and Microsoft products will soon have full support for this innovation.
Besides the high compression efficiency the big advantage over JPEG is that a color depth per channel of 10 and even 12 bit is supported.
The uploaded JPEG is about 17MB in size, the AVIF 1.9MB.
This sample is generated using the avifenc.exe command line encoder for windows.
I used this parameters:
avifenc.exe --cicp 2/2/1 -r limited -y 420 -j 6 --min 30 --max 40 --minalpha 30 --maxalpha 40 in.png out.avif
The result is:
- 6 threads used (for my 6 CPU cores)
- to colorspace YUV420 (422 and 444 is not supported by the Windows AV1 extension)
- 12 bit per channel

Apis mellifera ligustica, dite abeille italienne, ou abeille jaune, est une sous-espèce d'abeilles élevée pour son miel.
Apparue au sud des Alpes italiennes, en Ligurie qui lui a donné son nom, elle est, avec la Buckfast, la plus répandue des abeilles. Elle est répartie dans l'ensemble de l'Italie. Les qualités de cette abeille en ont fait la plus exportée au monde, notamment sur les continents américain et australien. Elle a également été introduite en Nouvelle-Calédonie.

This Bee was busy
I have taken very few shots of Bees, but I do like and appreciate them. I was standing in a field by a pond waiting for birds to come in. The field was full of Yellow Hawkweed which attracted Goldfinches and many types of polinators.
When I posted this last evening, I did not know the species. Thanks to those who provided the ID,
Theme: The Surface - Trivecta, ft. Roniit
The full saying is, “Api biaew! Aehuew djebetew aedew!” The hieroglyphs state the same saying on the left and the right. I chose to mirror it for artistic purposes. Also, Trivecta's song, The Surface is something like the theme song for the Harmakhis story. The concept being that there is something ready to surface that will change the world the city of Harmakhis is in, called Panterrea, which will shake it to its core.
The saying in the hieroglyphs is the battle cry of the Pakeret Mehuetey, the Northern Frontier Patrol, and heard over the intercoms of the apeyew (aircraft) of the pedjet aeshew (troop of pilots/squadron) on duty as they take flight for the designated battlefield. In this story, the main characters are part of a squadron called the Jahi Gahiji Minkha (JGM - Dignified Hunters of Justice).
When they hear it called out, “Api biaew! Aehuew djebetew aedew!” They know they are thus sent to fly into the heavens and to destroy the enemy targets. This call is first stated in Chapter 7 of a book I'm writing called Harmakhis as intro to a dog fight between the JGM and the Nirgalian enemy forces.
