    Default Another Snowy Owl Image



    This image from Saturday at Sundown has no blurring to the marsh grass - all I can figure is that there is no grass on the same plane as the Owl's head. The blur on the Owl's right side must be from some grass. I do wish that when I find a rare bird that I would take a deep breath, slow down and get it right! 800iso, f5.6 at 1/500 AV, EC +2/3 1Dmk3 on 500 f4 IS hand held - this 80% of the frame. Have not located the Owl since Sat. - Biddeford Pool, Maine - Bob

    Those eyes are amazing. Glad I'm not a mouse. You might try an Orton effect for a out of the box image given the grasses are OOF anyway. This has a dreamy appearance as is.

    This is lovely, Bob. I really like the soft appearance which works well with the textures of the owl's plumage. Interesting how the patterns on the wing coverts look like a flock of upsidedown flying swallows.

    I like the crop, mood, light and eye contact in this one. The grass in the OOF foreground are only a minor distraction.
