I took this image yesterday at around 4:00 . I added a poster effect, I really like this effect w/ the natural tones of fields and wood-I added a spotlight to simulate the moon

Love the owl and the effect you chose but the spotlight's not working for me, personally. I'd really love to see a big old full moon sitting there.

Hi Denise, I like the shot and the crop. I like the effect that you have done too. I just thought the moon looked rather flat so I put a new one in. Hope you don't mind!

Added a poster effect to the moon too. Thought it looked better, hope you don't mind the tweaks Denise.

Jackie, I thought the spotlight was more playful and added to the poster effect. BUT I love your moon and think it gives a more real look to the image-so I like both!! Good job!

I like the poster effect on the moon too. Think it stays inline w/ the fun look.

I never mind the help!

Love the tranqulity of the image, but also love the "new moon" The texture it provides balances out the texture of the owl's feathers. Great shot.

The original and reposts very good. Both variety's of this print work for me......I went a little further with moon....took Owls eye color, masked the moon, fill it with color, adjusted the opacity and fill to suit (CS4)..added a starburst effect (PSP9).....Denise great find, not often you get a Great Horned out in the open.
After a bit, I came back and looked again...not so sure I like the rays
