Hello everyone. Here another from my time with this little one. C&C welcomed and encouraged.
Camera - Nikon 300s, Lense - Nikon 200-400 w/1.4tc, Exposure - 1/320, Aperture - F8, ISO - 500, Metering - Spot, Aperture Priority.
I too like the earthy tones here, and having said this I think you can raise the colour temp even more just to see if the effect it gives is even better. The low angle and raised ground has given you nice separation between subject and BG. I only wish the feet were not so hidden by the pebbles, so perhaps a wee bit higher angle would have worked to your advantage. Good work oveall!
I love low angles...loved this composition as well. fine with wing blur. With Owls, this head position does not make as much impact as head-on....but we got to try something different, right?
Loverly on all counts. I actually like the 45 degree head angle with this species better than the right down the lens barrel. I would love to see a repost with the mid-tones a bit darker.....

Maybe just a sliver too dark but I like it better than the original post. Is this a Texas bird? (Looks like TX dirt.)
