Burrowing Owls in Snowstorm

[denise ippolito]

I shot this in Florida last year. I desaturated it and then added a snowstorm to it. I did a close crop to give it an intimate look. The one owl is yawning.:) I did a slight gaussian blur on the BG. as per Christopher (See his last thread "Peaceful Woods" for more info). But I masked back in the owls a bit. I also masked back in some of the yellow in their eyes and his mouth.

I agree with Paul. Nice snow effect...

Very artistic.

[Christopher Miller]

Looks great, Denise! I like the desaturated colors and the snow looks very realistic.

Nice image and application, Denise.

I like the effect but I might have cropped a little off the right border. However ...

Your image ... your vision.
