Silent takeoff

[Andreas Kanon]

Taken this morning 2 hours before the sun came up.
The Great Horned Owl leaves it's hunting perch and silently glides of into the dark forest.

Adjustments are slight crop, curves, converted to B/W and added a touch of noise.

Very otherworldly Andreas. I would suggest cropping the bottom to bring the branch in at the left corner. This high ISO effect works well here.

Hi Andreas, very cool as presented.

I disagree with Robert on this one, I'm not in favor of things shooting out of corners, since they emphasize the rectangular shape of the frame.
