Hi Michael,
Love the look. I have mix feelings about the composition. The BG and colors are very nice!
After a second look, I think the composition works very well because my eyes is traveling all over the frame.Originally Posted by Maxis Gamez
Neat pose Michael and I love the intense look of these little owls. Good exposure and excellent detail as well as a very nice BG.. Thanks for sharing.
Like the intense look - am wondering why you choose the horizontal format - feel the owl is kind of cramped in the frame - a vertical format might have been a better choice.
Nice pose and comp. Michael outstanding detail I love the stare.
Nice image and I don't mind the comp. There appears to be a strong magenta cast to this one. Check out Charles Glatzer's method for removing color casts here http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ead.php?t=7752 . I tried it with this shot with the color correcting layer set to 8-10% it removes the cast quite nicely.
Michael,
Love your composition, colors, background and the eye...:D
The cropped image has brought the stare of the owl up close and personal - no doubt this was your aim and works for me. Very nice capture!! Magenta cast also noted on my monitor.
