    Default Little owl

    Here is a small preditor from Lesbos where we went on a holiday last September. We where driving a car early in the morning say about 9.00 o clock and suddenly there was the owl landing just in front of our car just like he want to say too us....take a picture from me ''please" and fly away to a nearby rock and sat down for a picture. This is the one.

    Now that is what I call a "right time, right place shot".

    Great to the whole bird so clearly. If this were mine I would run run some noise reduction on the background, and perhaps darken the BG a little.

    would say you just have to be there to get such a beautiful image of an OWL :)

    I might try to tone down the OOF bg selectively to boost power of owl and perch.

    Very nice stance here. Did you lighten the eyes? Look kind if bright for being in the shadows, but I do not know this bird

    Too cute. And sharp. I'd reduce the YELLOW SAT to tone down the eyes and take a good bit off the top. Otherwise fantastic! The bird chose the best spot to sit.

    ps: Love that the BKGR color tones match the bird.
