I am starting 2012 with LR3 and and wanted to share a final few from 2011. This one from last April and it has been stuck in my mind since taken. Not direct eye contact but.. It was a very cold, cloudy and windy day. The wind would blow the owl about and here the legs are revealed.
7D, 500mm, 1/500, f/4, Av, ISO640, tripod.
A slight crop all around in same format and composition.
Nice composition, sharpness and details. It is great to see the legs. Surprisingly good DOF with f4.0.
I don't mind the side view at all. Great overall picture, David.
I like the pose and most everything about this.
If the DOF was just a bit more and the entire Owl as sharp as the head,
It would be off the charts.
Very nice though, as is.
I don't know from LR at all but I do know that this is a very sweet, special image with the soft light, the killer perch, and the blowing feathers. Sweet BKGR too.
