Unlike their close relatives Coots, Moorhen do not have lobed toes to facilitate swimming (I have pasted a Coot photo in the comments below for comparison). You can see here that Moorhens have long, thin, green toes, and it was actually the green colouration of the legs that gave rise to its scientific name chloropus, meaning green-footed. Moorhens do quite a few unusual things at nesting time. They usually start to incubate when they lay the first egg, so in a clutch of seven the young will hatch over a period of about seven days. But oddly for subsequent broods they wait for the full clutch before incubating so the young hatch together. This is odd because the young are nidifugous (means nest-fleeing) in that they walk around as soon as they hatch, so it is difficult for parents to look after different aged young while they continue incubating. Another unusual thing is that the young of the first brood stick around to help their parents raise the siblings in subsequent broods. This is quite rare in birds, although House Martins also do it.
I have never done this before, but I had to put these two pictures together so that you can compare the differences. I used the identical prompt in MidJourney and DDT2D and this is the result. Basically I asked for a woman who was not feeling well, sitting in her bed and working on her laptop. I also wanted it in the style of Norman Rockwell. I did MJ first and was disappointed, and then I tried DDT2D and was blown away!
Don't get me wrong, I have had some incredible MJ results, but in this case, DD walks away with the honours!!
Since I had so many pink girls here right now I figured it would be cool to take some comparison pics.

Bill/Head size, structure, proportions comparison as well as plumage study
Tav is a bit turned so pix is not as good for body structure comparison
Scratch (bantam Old English Game hen) egg on the left.
Ameraucana (standard Wheaten) egg on the right.
I've heard that first eggs are usually small, so I'm guessing that since the Ameraucanas are just beginning to lay (one of them laid her first egg just before we got her on Tuesday) this is the other hen's first egg. I hope they'll get bigger over time, especially since they're getting lots of good food now.
I did a bit of an "experiment" the other day with my 50mm lens. I haven't been able to get a decent comparison shot of the difference in Dof, and I finally did.
But, for those of you who didn't know, the smaller your aperture (the larger the f number) the clearer the background becomes.
Left to right; shots taken in at 10 mins interval, approximately at 5:25, 5:35, and 5:45 pm.
Left most at 5:25 pm, 12 images exposure blending.
Middle frame at 5:35 pm, 10 images exposure blending.
Right frame at 5:45 pm, 17 images exposure blending. For this image I moved the tripod 2-3 feet behind the previous position, hence a slight different view.
I will post another image for the right most frame, where I merged 51 frames for a true three EV exposure blended image to get the most natural color.
I am not at all satisfied with this framing, but I did not know and had any other option. I will look for a better angle next year if possible.

3D printed helmet from the UK used in the french soldiers from Brickizimo. (I dont know the name of the maker)
The normal LEGO one.
Brickarms adrian helmet.
I personal find the 3D printed one to big and dont use it, always used the lego ones till this point and I have been waiting on BA to release the adrian helmet for several years now.
Well I do have to say after the long wait, I like the quality of the BA one, but am I going to replace the LEGO ones now?
No, for now as they are pretty much (well they are) the same size as the 3D printed one and thats a bit to big for my taste. I may have a change of heart along the way, but for an overall first impression I'm not that impressed this time around.
Btw those kaiser helmet are freaking awesome good job on that one BA :p

Here is an example of the differences between an iPhone (7+) jpeg and 35mm dSLR raw image of a fire sunset.
Clearly, the iPhone produces an over saturated image. To render true colors of sunrises and sunsets, taking raw images results in the best "truest" depiction although less dramatic at times.

Another BlueRender of my AT-ST this time compared with LEGO's AT-ST for the upcoming movie Star Wars Rogue One
Also, notice how I positioned the stance of my AT-ST similar to what we saw in the second trailer of Rogue One.
I already updated my giant a bit, here's a height comparison.
Yes, even giants are in the Christmas mood.
Here's a photo from Key Biscayne (the famous lighthouse there) that I took with the Pixel 2 phone. I also got one with my Sony a7R III, but I think I like this one better! I recently released the full review of the Sony a7R III at www.stuckincustoms.com/sony-a7riii-review/ and I sneaked in a Pixel 2 photo in there to see if anyone could tell the difference. No one has so far... It's kind of a fun test, reminding me and (hopefully others) that mobile phones are the clear and present future of almost all photography. By the way, I paid full price for my Google Pixel 2; this is not a paid post or anything! I know I really talk about that phone a lot, but it's right from the heart, yo!

I was very excited about the MacroMondays challenge on double exposures, as I had only tried in-camera double exposures when I first got my current camera, and never returned to it until today. I also have not overlaid any photos in a long time. My first idea was something related to this but slightly different, but it did not work out quite like I imagined, and I already thought I'd have to resort to CreativeCloud for overlaying single exposures as the light was fading fast and I wanted natural light - but then this second idea worked the way I wanted. I am thankful for MacroMondays crew for pushing us participants by having a theme related to a technique - this was refreshing!
One of the exposures is a petal on a white sheet, the other one of a dictionary. The difficulty - in addition to composing the two shots after each other in camera without seeing the other one -
consisted of getting the petal shot to be dark enough in comparison with the dictionary shot, as I could not change the ISO between the two exposures, and did not want to touch the other settings (and was too lazy to set up a tripod). In hindsight it would have been great to have the text more pronounced on the petal itself, but oh well, the light is gone. I believe I'll return to double exposures another time. This was fun. HMM to all.
So I'm not a huge fan of Photoshop heroics. I prefer to make the magic happen in-camera. But the reality is that sometimes you have a (potentially) great shot and a vision for the image, but you just didn't have the time or gear or whatever to make it happen in-camera. So enter this image. I've posted the sooc RAW image below so you can see a comparison. My editing was all manual and consisted mostly of adjusting the light and perspective and adding a texture and light rays.
Now this image just needs a title . . . .
Asking from friends to do a comparison.
It seems Lorina has a big head than others.
SWD Nana is a big head one but her face is small compare to Michele and Kaelin.

Here’s a comparison of my both Anakin figures that I’ve made. The one on the left is his season 1 through 2 appearance and the one on the right is his season 3 through 6 appearance.
Here's a side by side comparison: an official Tumbi cuddly toy in the back and my LEGO Tumbi MOC in the front.
Bumba the clown
This MOC had some fun challenges. For instance, the inside construction of Bumba's head and placing his heart perfectly tight on his rounded tummy. His head, arms and feet can be posed. Bumba comes with his Sticky Magico.
Tumbi the elephant
The hardest part was making the rug on Tumbi's back stick out 1 plate thick on all sides. Also, It took me a while to figure out how to make the round shape for the circus pedestal. It has studs on top to attach Tumbi.
Gwido the penguin
Nothing to fancy here, just a fun build of a penguin on a giant skateboard!
Magic rabbit
A rabbit peeping out of a high hat. The classic magic trick everybody loves 😄

This was a really awful photo. It was taken in the late afternoon on a somewhat on again off again grey day just as the sun had dipped behind the buildings. Everything was cast in shadows and so I thought Photoshop would be a good idea for experimentation. It has an interesting HDR quality, although I didn't use it. I probably should have from the start. It would have been an interesting comparison.

Excerpt from emporis.com:
•The statue is a replica of the original Statue of Liberty and stands outside the New York New York Hotel.
•The replica is 150 feet tall from the ground to the top of the torch, including the pedestal. By comparison, the real Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor is 151 feet tall without its pedestal or foundation.
•The designers hoped to make a one-third scale replica of the original statue, but it proved impractical. The result was a statue 100 feet high on a pedestal of 50 feet; in total height, it translates to one-half scale.
