Hello, thank you for allowing me to join this group! This is my first post, so I hope I'm doing everything right. This photo was taken just after sunrise at a wonderful burrow in Southern California. The Owl family was very affectionate, something I wanted to capture in my photo. I welcome any critiques! EXIF info is:
Canon 1DX
100-400 lens
ISO 500
SS 1/2500
f/5.6
Taken at 400mm
Hi Melissa welcome to the forum. Nice image a little on the warm side, would like to see more at the bottom and not so much room on the right, maybe a 2X3 crop ratio.
Looking forward to seeing more.

Thank you Tim! Is this one better? Attachment 168778
Sorry, I'm still trying to figure posting on this forum!
Much better, still would like to see a bit more at the bottom of the frame if you have it.
Thanks Tim
Thanks! No, I was literally on my stomach taking the photo so the ground level was what it is in the photo. You were so right about too much warmth - I like the corrected one so much better!
That's a powerfully sweet photograph. Congratulations on your POV and the warm storytelling. I agree with Tim about the crop. I would want to end up with the birds larger in the frame, but that's a personal like. I'm very glad to see your work.
Thank you Jim! I had "rule of thirds" drummed into me, so I try to crop showing that. I do, however, understand what you mean and don't disagree.
Welcome Melissa , I love the shot and the redo is better not so hot. Great interaction and capture. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks Kevin! I'm studying the DPP4 program now, so I hope to do better in the future!
