    Hi,

    Found this lovey creature today...he even gave me a hoot! I was not sure if to crop vertical or leave horizontal; I kind of like it horizontal as it shows more of the environment. It was heavy overcast today; thanks you Mr. Flash. Hope you like it and all comments welcomed.
    Best,
    Michael

    Very nice capture, although a bit too centered. You could get some off the left for a stronger compo. If this is the one a Lox, did you replace the bad eye? Nothing against it, just asking for disclosure.

    Hi Fabs,
    Absolutely did not replace either eye...However I did have to remove some red eye...
    other than basic PS that's it...

    I love the natural setting and the Spanish moss. I agree that the comp could be stronger. Not sure what to suggestion except for something tighter. I might try lightened the head area a bit. Very unique setting.:)

    Hi Mike:

    Very much like this capture and the environmental feel. I tried several crops and finally settled on this one as my own personal favorite. I feel it showcases the owl the best but still has the environmental feel. Let me know what you think. Marina
