Gail, here it is with a little more tone in the background...

Gail, it's always a treat to open your photos. This one is no exception. Colours and tones look very nice - although I note Isaac's comment that ...

Isaac, Thanks for the ID help....certainly close in looks. I believe the image shifted toward center when I cropped to meet the sizing...

Nice look back pose. Details look nice. I would move the bird further right in the frame. The out of focus stuff on the bottom of the image isn't...

Isaac, Congrats on a great find. I tried to find these little ones while we were on Vancouver Island this summer, but no luck....did get the...

Bill what a lovely image. Very nice singing pose with a superb velvety background. Chris

Thank you Stu, Daniel and Gail. I will try a darker background, Gail, and repost once I've reworked. A surprise to know you spent some time in...

Chris, I think that helps quite a lot. I always select my main subject and either apply only mild NR to it or, more rarely, none. Much stronger NR...

Great look at this fantastic owl. Love the tones and details of this shot. The hanging moss takes it over the top. I would crop this differently....

Hi Joe. I think I met this fellow. A lovely full-frontal look with great detail. It's always nice to go back and find a few old ones.

Thanks Jon, Gabriela and Stu for the comments, much appreciated. Stu - it's orca predation and oil spills apparently that keep it at endangered now....

Rachel I thought they were doing slightly better now ,the fur trade nearly did for them though ,if memory serves?? It's a lovely frame I like the...

Thanks Issac, i couldn't tell which one this was the short or the long.

A brief but heart felt thanks for all the replies.Rachel yes it's the orange hue,that has affected the reds,it's tricky the light was changing,but as...

Dear Rachel, Must admit I was also unaware that Sea Otters are endangered. Nice techs, overall a well composed and thoughtfully processed image,...
