Being a lazy person with a restless mind is a conundrum. While I want to chase my dreams, I also want to find them while sleeping.

Over the years, Drake has had many restless nights. Ever since his childhood, he’s been a victim of insomnia, often being kept awake by his anxious and depressing thoughts. Even when things are good in his life, he still finds it hard to get any rest—oftentimes getting caught up in his contentment to let his mind settle down, as even his happiness is something he can’t help but overthink about.
However, this time, that isn’t the case. Lately, Drake has been dealing with feelings of guilt, anxiety, longing, and confusion—brought about by issues much different from the stressors of his past. These issues feel more present—hauntingly so—because it’s not just for himself that Drake worries; it’s also for the two people he loves so deeply—ones he keeps very close to his heart—one of which who’s sleeping right beside him, blissfully unaware of his mental turmoil. He’s afraid of being the one to hurt them both, and in a way, he feels he’s deserving of his restlessness.
Restless Flycatcher, Myiagra inquieta
This is a much better series of images than I managed on my only previous sighting of this species several months ago.

Much post processing in this, I'm new to slow shutter speeds using ND filters in broad daylight. It was a bit of a struggle to try and get it right.
The final go at recreating that old photo faded look that I enjoy so much but find so hard to replicate or even explain. Anyone know of a PS technique or LR preset that might do the trick?
In the last four photos I have started the processing using a LR Preset '300' and then done various alterations to get closer to the look I want.
