    OK, here is another non-classical BPN photo. Hey, if you can't get the wonderful portraits of gorgeous birds, you go for what you can get! (horse noses and frogs) lol

    anyway, the weather was so bad that we could not get any birds outside, so again, had to shoot indoors in very low light. My only flash is the pop up flash, so to soften it at this slow shutter speed, I put my hand a few inches away from it. This is not the most flattering pose for these 4.5 week old Eurasian Eagle Owl babies, but it was the only pose where they would be still for long enough.

    hmmmm, now that I look at it again, it bears a resemblance to the angle of my recent horse photo! lol

    Well?? What do you think?

    Hi Cheryl...I like this very much. The face is sharp and you've taken an interesting perspective. I would clone out one of the catchlights in the right eye.

    "Necessity is the mother of invention" You did very well Cheryl,
    I like this perspective...the color rendition and the expression on the little guy's face...would recommend on eliminating the double catch light on the right eye...good show...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

    Thank you, everyone. I appreciate you taking the time to critique!

    I did think about removing one of the highlights in the risght side eye, but since both were window reflections, I left them. But after reading the comments here, i will remove one anyway.

    Thank you, again.
