    Default Great Horned Owl take 3

    For the past three days I've been watching a pair of Great Horned Owls that I found on Friday morning. My last post was too steep of an angle, but the female finally came down low today.



    Initially the bird was pretty much half in the shade, so I had to decrease the contrast of the image to bring back some detail on the left side (which in the original frame was very dark).

    It looks like you were able to get nice and close. Too bad about the shade but sometimes not much you can do about that. I also like that you were able to get the bird with no obstructions like branches directly in front of bird. Dave

    Lucky you, I've never seen one of these owls in the field. I like the sharpness and eye contact and also wish the branches in the foreground were not there and the light angle were better. Could you have moved to your right and back for a lower angle?
