    Default more owls



    D700
    70-200mm f2.8 VR with 1.7TC
    340mm
    ISO 800
    f6.3 at 1/320s
    Manual mode
    Matrix Metering
    Auto white balance
    handheld

    Adjust WB, increase saturation, set white/black point, reduce noise, add orange filter, crop and sharpen.

    Another image of this cute little owls, wish both of them turn their heads toward me more.

    All comments and suggestions are welcome.

    Agree on the slight head turn and also wish a lower angle if possible .. those guys are so cute I might climb a ladder just to get them at eye level !!!

    I do not mind the angle, great picture, this is a killer image IMO. I hope to have this opportunity someday and I know you were careful with the approach - A+!

    Gorgeous - do like it as is --- Now I agree with AL - I would have a ladder and be up it like a rat up a drain pipe :) from a safe distance of course.

    Big Congrats :)

    Cute owls, Thanaboon! :) Agree a lower angle would be nice, but very good image regardless.

    Further back there a house with a low raise balcony, that should help with the angle when I have a longer zoom lens (planning one getting one soon when I have the money :))

    Thanaboon, the head angle doesn't bother me, this is a lovely image. I think you did a great job chosing your F stop to give you both birds in focus. I would agree that a lower angle would have put this over the top.

    Very nice Thanaboon, lower would have been great. Like your framing and their eyes are gorgeous. Wondering why you chose an orange filter as opposed to using WB?? Anyways I really like this image. Hope you get your long lens.

    The orange filter was due to my bad work flow and laziness. At first when I adjusted the WB I thought I had it right, but then when I was about to post the image I noticed a little blue cast. Instead of going back and changing the WB (which was what I should do) I just applied the orange filter to get rid of the cast.

    I wish too that they would both look at you, but other then that i like this image, they are sharp and the eyes are are outstanding to me. They are a beautiful pair. Great job:)
