This is the image I tried to post yesterday and for some strange reason had a problem. At any rate it was a tough bird to expose for. I suppose the light was a bit harsh for a bird with this much white but I didn't want to pass up the opportunity. I did some work in post to try and save it. I was happy with the results and would be interested in others thoughts on the image.
Thanks to Axel for your help in re-posting.
Looks like a Zorro pose! Fantastic BG colors. I think you did a great job in the presentation of this. Whites have plenty of detail and you really toned down the harshness well IMO.
I actually see a lovely light in this one. The back view of this owl is great. Love the BG too. If mine, I would move the bird more to the right. Congrats on a fine image.
I think this is a beautiful photo. The pose and the colors, as others have said, are just great. The bird is maybe a little too centered in the frame, but that is minor. Very nice image, IMO. They are such cool looking birds.................
You did a great job with the light, as the shadows are soft, good detail in whites and blacks(stump).
Nice pose, pleasant background. I do agree just a sliver more room on the left, but very close as is.
just wished the tial was more sharper, still loved the head turn, good pose and lovely Bg, just a wee bit more room at the bottom would help.. still loved this congrats..
