I love the OOF FG in the shot and how the owl lifts out from it.
Nicely posed in the frame, a little more room below would allow some space for the virtual legs, but it's not a problem really.
Light was perhaps a touch strong, but the image looks great nonetheless.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Joe, I like the low perspective here and the OOF grass in the FG, gives a 'layering' feel to the image. Looks a bit light, however that might be very reflective of the time of day, but just in LR adding a little more 'depth' to the whole image, I think adds a more solid looking frame? Good call on placing the subject off centre and the negative space to the LHS works. I think Akos makes a good point about the 'virtual' legs, however the OOF FG band may then be too much at the foot of the frame?
