    Default Barred owl in flight

    Taken from Jim Neiger's boat in April. The last 2 pics I posted were "dogs" so I am trying to redeem myself with this shot!This is my first attempt at adding canvas. I added 10% to the left of frame and cropped about 15% off right side. Full Frame

    Comments and critiques appreciated!

    Hi Gail. You did pretty well with a tough subject! Placement of the bird in the frame looks good. Sharpness is decent but another round of sharpening wouldn't hurt. Adding canvas can be tricky; there seem to be some repeating patterns on the left side of the frame; try sampling some vegetation on the right side of the frame and cloning at a 50% opacity on the left to eliminate the repeating patterns. Keep up the good work!

    Hi Doug,
    Here is a redo with a bit more sharpening and redo of canvas. Better?

    Much better indeed. Eye is nice and sharp. Good position in the frame with room to fly into. Well done.

    What a nice image. Looks like his belly is wet? Good job with the alterations....I'm with Daniel on a slight trim from the right, just to move him off center a bit.

    The repost helped a lot and gave the image some pop.
