Barn Owl in flight (B&W)
Canon EOS 1D MKII, 600mm non IS, 1.4x conv, G1548, G1321, Wimberley head, f8, 1/125, ISO 320, RAW, RSE, CS2.

Hi All,

Going through my images of the Owl's and I'm not sure about this one :confused: . Firstly; the wing position, looks a bit awkward to me, and the white's on the wings are blown, so tried converting to black and white, does this work?

Really looking for feedback as to whether I should bag it or bin it.

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob

Hi Rob,

I generally like the idea because the B & W conversion has made the owl abit ghosty and emphasises its night time habits IMO. However you mentioned my main nit which is the highlights on the wings but the postioning I feel is okay.

HTH
Regards Chris.

If the whites were not so blown I would like the shot a lot: unusal and fitting the subject very well.

Hi Rob am afraid it doesn't work for me and on my monitor it looks soft. :toast:
