Two masked plovers at the local pond - with a touch of pond grunge!

I am still struggling to find what is happening to the exif data - I think it must be my workflow that needs changing.

I like the end result Lyn! On the exif date, I see it disappearing as well when doing edits with sequential filters and going in-out of Lightroom or other standalone editing tools. Not sure where it goes at times, or if smart objects keeps or loses the exif. I'll try to watch this as well during edits.
