    I really like the fiery sky color and it has covered the bird and the foliage. Those orange eyes are kinda cool and different. The issue is that the image looks soft as presented and lacks fine detail. Nice frame

    Hi Gio,

    the BG looks strange what was the BG? The eyes should be yellow and not orange (I haven't seen a snowy owl with orange eyes ? ). The owl is out of focus. (focus was on the weeds in front of him).

    Hello Arash
    You are in true about out the focus..but in this case the eyes are orange and not as normally yellow (this is the color in my raw file)..It could dipend for the sunset light...for this reason I am sad!

    Giovanni, the colors in a raw file are not "true" or accurate. In fact, there are no colors in a raw file -- they depend completely on how the raw converter interprets them, with a few of the parameters read from the camera metadata, but fully capable of being altered by interpretation in the raw converter. They depend on the white balance setting and the camera profile and whether some "auto" adjustment has been made, which is usually horrible.

    What was your raw processing software and settings?

    The colors seem very unreal. In addition there is a bit too much empty space on the top where nothing is happening.
