    Another Snowy, I don't intend to post a lot of them, but if Arash or Don Nelson (or anybody) would like to comment,
    I am mainly interested in the colors here. After the post from yesterday, I masked and worked on removing
    the bluish caste which a lot of my Snowy photos have. I can't really judge except to look at some of Arash's and
    Doug Browns posts.
    Feel free to comment.
    I personally love the Feet!

    Whew!
    Thanks so much for the feedback.
    I learn stuff here every time I post.
    I worked on several images today after the comments yesterday.
    Looked at other Snowy posts, took Don's advice and tried to get the whites correct and get
    The PP sequence down to continue to process these Snowy photo's I look.
    The advice and critiques are very much appreciated!

    Hi Dan, great eye contact, love those yellow eyes, and perched nicely on the low part of the perch. You have nailed the whites. Great.

    Glad you got it right, NX2 is very powerful and can nail the colors real accurate once you figure the tricks.

    This is extremely good Dan! I agree with the comments above, I love the position of the owl and the habitat.

    Great placement of the owl in the frame and in the perch. Gotta love those feet and talons.

    Wonderful capture. Great exposure, and I like the habitat (except for the oof log, which I guess you're stuck with). Terrific stare, and the feathered feet are fantastic.

    Love the eye contact in this image, feathered talons (feet) are good to go :-)
