Jazz in Sepia...

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi All,
This is another view of the rescued tawny owl that I posted a few weeks ago.
400D 100-400 @ 400mm
ISO 200
AV F5 1/125 sec
Exp comp -1.3
Desaturated in PS elements and a sepia tone added, levels, croppped sharpening and burned BG to make darker.
Look forward to your comments!
Best regards to all,
Nicki

Like the texture and sharpness here. Also the B&W treatment. Some of the whites look a little hot, and I'd like to see some extra room up top and on the left. I really like this one Nicki!

[Nonda Surratt]

Super nice!!!! Bold and attention grabbing..Agree on the whites

[Lance Peters]

All covered Nicki - congrats :)

Hi guys,
Thanks so much for your kind words.
Regarding the whites; I often find that my images look darker after posting than when I have processed them, so I brightened the picture at the last moment....I probably deserve 20 lashes for this...:eek::D
Regards to all,
Nicki

Shouldn't be different Nicki? Might want to check the workflow

Need some detail in the whites here to make it work Those white patches are eye grabbers !!!!

[Dave Slaughter]

I like this a lot, also, Nicki. It is another very artistic rendering. Are you by any chance an artist as well as a photographer?

Nicki
Very intriguing as a sepia image. I looked at for a long time, seeing what was there.
Well done
Gail

Dave, when I was at school I was totally written off by the art teacher as a complete disaster... :cool:

[Harold Davis]

just goes to prove that not everyone knows what they are talking about, nicki!!! i thought the same as dave. i like what you did with jazz!! just would tone down the whites a little.

I like it as presented Nicki. Very sharp and detailed.
