Apart form the techs, the eyes give us a clue of dark it was (check out how dilated the pupils are). The angle is a bit steep but still not too bad - had the owl looked down directly towards you that would have helped with that. Good comp. OK BG. There is a magenta cast on the owl that should be easy enough to fix. Pretty cute overall, and I can see why you are excited about having had this opportunity.

I love the eyes. Color cast has already been mentioned.
I do feel image quality is lacking. How much of a crop is this ?

Agree with what Daniel has said here. But those eyes are killer.

Yes, if you fix that colour cast, this would improve the image a lot. Love the facial expression.

The eyes are fabulous and the color cast is an easy fi, but overall image quality is pretty rough. There is little detail in the feathers as presented, but it looks like you were up against it with the light from your data. This image was going to struggle without some flash.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I’ve been trying to correct that magenta cast and I need to tweak it a little more, trying not to overdo it with the green but I think it’s close. Image quality is definitely not as great as I’d like it to be, there was a tiny bit of motion blur that I was able to work with in Sharpen AI and it did a pretty decent job of fixing it but I need to play with it some more. There’s some weird crunchiness and aliasing going on that I’m not crazy about, still haven’t quite figured out these Topaz Labs plugins. I think downsizing it to upload it here degraded the quality a bit too, it’s not a very heavy crop and definitely doesn’t look as bad in a full quality export.
