The usual busy and messy BG with Owls and in really dark woods.
A big crop at High ISO, but I liked the "togetherness" here.

ISO 3200
F6.3
1/800
600mm (300 f2.8 w/ 2x)
Nikon D800

nice look and eye contact, I like how the right one is leaning against his brother!

I think you applied too much NR and then over-sharpened it.

Excellent image of cute ones in habitat. Very nice pose.Loved the expression in the eyes of right one.

Arash, thanks, I always appreciate your input.
The file on my monitor looks a bit better than this, but I admit, I am just getting into the learning curve
for processing these high ISO files. It took me months to learn to process "normal" files to a decent level!
I took another at Sunset last night at ISO 5000 that I think looks pretty good. I will post it, so maybe
you could look at another one and let me know what you think.
There were three photogs at the Owl tree and I was the only one who even attempted to shoot at the low light
we had and the others were using D300s with tripods.
You need to publish a High ISO processing guide for Nikon People!
