owl in studio

[arash_hazeghi]

This is one of my fav. frames from the trip, it's simple composition and the owl's shadow on the snow makes it look like a studio shot :D hope you like it

Sweet frame, Arash. Love the eye contact and especially the shadow in the snow. Does indeed look like a studio shot.

Fantastic image Arash, sorry to be a pain in the proverbial but I think it is too bright, I don't mean to be demeaning in any way a great image but for me too bright.

[arash_hazeghi]

Thanks everyone brightness looks good to me.

[David Salem]

Nice shot again. I like the angle he/she is flying in. The owl itself dosnt look to bright on my monitor. The scene dose have a high key look to it due to the snow BG. Nice work.

So cool, and beautiful. I dig that shadow. In this image and the previous owl post, you did not mention that feeding was done, though both images
appear to be the results of feeding...?

[arash_hazeghi]

thanks everyone,

Sean the owls were baited.

Terrific light & flight pose. I like the high key look & perfect exposure. What a penetrating look! Arash, I have a problem with embedded Exif data...

[arash_hazeghi]

Hi Mohsen, what EXIF data?

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

[Frank Schauf]

Superb shot! Excellent flight pose, great background, and very nice details.

The shadow and head turn are what makes it for me here. Awesome exposure too...
