Snowy Owl #2

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Thought I would post another capture from Island Beach, NJ back earlier this month. What a wonderful experience it was, for my first look at these beauties. C&C welcome. I am aware of the noise in BG. Tools started acting up in Photoshop cs6 just as I was attempting NR in BG. I spent a good amount of time trying to remedy tools not responding. If anyone has a solution, would much appreciate an explanation. I'm on a mac.

Hope everyone has a great 2018.

D500, Nikon 500mm f/4G + 1.4 TC, 1/1600s, f 6.3, ISO 3200, Gitzo, Wimberley Gimbal head.

Geoffrey:

I like the composition, the small snow drift/bands on the sand ridge, raised foot, intense stare.

In a perfect world, might clean up the one shoot that goes across face to bill, but a minor point.

Cheers

Randy

We can tell you were next to Bill for this one! Ditto Randy, and have a Happy New Year as well.

Lovely image... I like the raised foot and composition. A beautiful bird nicely shown. Thank you for sharing, Geoffery.

Thanks Randy, Daniel, and Joe.
