    Default Little Owl

    Long time since I been posting any thing new, but I have been busy by school and the grades. But now I hope I can photograph more.
    Also bought a new lens a Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM. :)
    Hope your all good.

    This photo was taken in Spain last year.

    Great BG colors, setting and silhouette. I might remove the part of the tree in the lower right and add a bit at the top if you have.

    Well seen and composed. Loved the colors. Wishing for a better profile of the owl. This would be a good shot even without the owl. Enjoy your new lens...its really good.

    I like this a lot. Great color with a interesting silhouette. I agree with Axel about removing the part of the tree in the lower right. I tried increasing the vibrance with an adjustment layer and like the subtle pop it added to the colors. Just something to consider however, I do think your presentation works well.

    This is great, I like it very much. I would think that you had lots of options for compositions, just wondering what length you shot this. I agree about removing the leaves on bottom right.

    Don't know how I missed this earlier but this is simply superb.

    I'd clone out the lower branch on the right as Axel suggested and it gets even better.

    I think the legs of the owl give you enough frame of reference to ID the subject as a bird and therefore my eyes don't need to see a more defined head profile.

    Wonderful image! I like it very much. The tree and the sky are awesome. Owl adds a lot, but I would like it it even if the Owl wasn't there.
