I have spent the past few nights in the company of a little owl family. This is the first time that the two youngsters have sat together and of course the sun was behind a cloud and a bit of grass got in the way!

Looks a little soft but I like the perch and the intense stare. Perhaps a bump in temp would help this image

Love the intense stare they are giving you! Sharpness looks ok to me, but it looks very noisy given that it was ISO 400. Agree about a small bump in temp as well

Thanks for the comments fellas. It was fairly gloomy which accounts for some of the noise. In addition I have very little time to spare on preparing images so I now concentrate on posting quickly prepared images of interest such as my 'stoat mum' rather than beautifully PS crafted images. Anyway I am rubbish on the computer

Hi Bob, these eyes attract my glance very strong, no problem with the grass.

no complaints about noise or sharpness from me as you say it is 50% and i know how little time you spend processing

lovely to see the results of all the time you do spend in the field. Very nice and great to see 2 together.
