    Wonderful shot! Love the owls' expressions!

    The left owl looks a bit soft; IMO some selective sharpening would take this over the top!

    Lucky you Denise. Two owls at once! Like all the habitat around the birds too. Looks like you had a blast in FL.

    Denise - really well done, agree that the left bird looks a tad soft. Otherwise, just great.
    Cheers

    Great expressions on these two and I agree on a little more sharpening. Nicely done, Denise...enjoy your time in Florida, although I'm guessing it would be hard not to??!!!

    Thanks guys,the left one is a tad soft-but was very hard to get both crystal clear-so one had to suffer and I felt it had to be the smaller one, I am having such a great time in Florida!!!!

    hey denise, love your owls and glad you found them. awesome action and the couple posing together takes it over the top. i thought it had a color cast so i took it into cnx2 and just set the b&w points. see what you think.

    Harold, It did have a slight color cast -but I added warmth to it as suggested by Fabs in a previous post I made in Avian-which had similar color tones.My post was a Limpkin made a couple of days ago.She suggested I warm it up and I felt it added to the image -as I felt the warmth worked here.
