    Tres bien. Did you or others use a mouse to attract the owl? I like the pose and the underwing detail. You might consider toning down the electric blue sky... Later and love, artie

    Bienvenue, Pierre :)

    Great first post, good looking pose and no distracting shadows

    Agree the sky could be toned a little bit. Not sure why you used f/10?.

    For the mouse yes someone beside me had mouse (I hope it is not forbidden here)
    And regarding your suggestion I try to tone down and you are right I think it is much better;)
    Thank's

    And to anwser Fab Question:
    ''Not sure why you used f/10?''

    I wanted lots of DOF for all the wings focus and enough speed to stop movement that is why I decided 1/1250 f10 iso 320.........

    Regard's
    Thank you both of you:)

    No problema with the mouse. We just ask that folks let us know if the subject has been baited, if you are working at a feeder, using a tape, etc.

    later and love, artie

    ps: the blue sky is still way electric funky... Try going to Hue/Saturation, selecting the Blue Channel, and reducing the SAt 20-30 or more points till the sky looks more natural.

    Pierre...Beautiful image.....however....as others have noted....the color of the sky is unnatural......go to hue/saturation and desaturate only the Cyan color.....to get a natural blue.
