Hi folks ... happy new year to the whole community !!
May this be a good and fruitful year for all of us
IŽll start off with this standard shot of a Owlet from last year during one of my last sessions with them , they finally disappeared from that location .
I do like the upright pose ... checking out the photographer
Canon EOS R3
EF 200 - 400 IS L at 560 mm
Tripod
F 4 / Iso 6400 ; 1/1600 sec
Processed with C1 and PSCC 2024 ; cropped and canvas added to the top ..... basically full frame . Minor removal of distractions in the perch
Happy New Year Andreas!! I love it. Vertical was the obvious way to go. I actually like the displaced feather - adds to the quirky look. The WB could go redder, or more magenta, as it seems a bit cyan/green overall. Those eyes draw you right in....
Thanks Dan , glad you like it .... much appreciated .
Regarding the WB , I just checked it again .... and can't find a green cast . So I think it should be good , but for sure I can go more red/magenta as an alternative .... keep staying with my initial colors . Matter of color taste I would say
