I made the trip to Kingsville Ontario like many others did and found the Great Gray Owl on the last day it was spotted. As it was perched on a hydro wire it occurred to me to stay back and wait for a flight shot instead of trying for a close-up of it on an undesirable perch. I'm curious what the consensus is on bird photos where the subject is on a plain sky background, like or dislike.
I don't usually do much post processing as my photoshop skills are lacking. I use mostly Canon DPP for image enhancement, in this case a little saturation and one round of sharpening. In Photoshop I cropped it by about 30 percent and then sized for posting.
