    Default Wings

    This is a great grey owl I photographed with Dan in Ottawa a few year ago. Went back and reprocessed this file.

    Absolutely perfect, each side is almost a mirror image of the other. The stare captures ones eyes and holds them fixed. Thank you for sharing, Arash.

    Don't think that can be improved particularly like the slightly oof wings that give the impression of movement,something for us to strive to Arash.

    Arash - Love the coming at you position and the feeling of movement from the wings. Always good to see what advances in the pp programs can do to an already excellent image.

    TFS,

    Excellent Arash, 1DX delivers again, be hard pushed with anything else, perfect head on. Having the dark above, light below just adds I feel.

    Bet the AF was working overtime as the subject got closer.

    Awesome incoming frame Arash!! The wing position and HA are perfect and the eye contact couldn't be any better. Nice

    Beautiful. I love the eye contact and symmetry. It may be me, but I find the whiter areas above the left wing (right side of the image) slightly distracting and am wondering whether those could be darkened.

    The power of this image/owl is amazing the way you have presented this frame. The symmetry is great, but I am esp liking the strength of the owl against that rather subtle BG.
