    My first GHO-HDR posted yesterday really didn't work for me. This version seems more acceptable:). Shot a Yolo Basin Wildlife Area, Yolo co, Ca. I used Photomatix to process 5 captures and PS CS3 to adjust further.

    Camera Model: NIKON D200
    Aperture: 4.5
    Exposure mode: Av
    Flash: Off
    Metering mode: Multi-segment
    ISO: 400
    Lens: VR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D
    Focal length: 80mm

    I'm not sure the HDR improves this. I think for this, just metering for the sky and going silhouette on the twigs might be better. Comp wise, I might crop at about "lee" and on the left to eliminate the third tree coming into frame. I like how you are thinking outside the box, just keep working on it. =)

    Hey Dan,
    Either you are the fasted photographer in the west (I just posted a reply to the earlier version)....or you were reading my minnd!.....I like this one better compositionally and agree with Paul on the left side crop. Now.....if I can just get you to get the top of those trees in.....with a hair more base (I think the reeds will add to the environmental aspect)......would then work more of a critterscape. go vertical!

    Dan,

    This is more of what I had in mind when you did the first post. With the cropping suggestions above, you have a good looking image.

    Thanks guys for the guidance! I exposed a few for the BG and let the trees/owl go black but the BG was not nearly a "dynamic". The repost reflects the crop suggestions. Unfortunately, I have no tree tops:o
