Barred Owl
I took this image earlier this week at Port Charlotte, FL. It is a very heavy crop (1:1) since the owl was in a very busy background and my attempts to deal with the BG have been less than ideal. I have found that most people here tend to like loose crops rather than tight compositions but this one seems to work for me and the amount of detail in the face is acceptable.
I guess I will have to reshoot anyway...
All comments and critiques are welcomed and encouraged, but specifically I would like to hear some feedback about what to do with the eyes. Should I burn all highlights and recreate some catch lights? What do you do with these obvious reflections?
