Autumn Tawny Owl (c)

This is a shot taken last year during an Autumn photography session with Danny Green.

Just had a look at the archives & this just popped out, I thought it would make a nice post.

I'm finally lost for words {almost }

I think this is one of your finest...........really love the intense rustic colours throughout, which compliment the tawny superbly

Wonderful!!!

Alan

Love the foliage framing,great perch and fantastic colours

Perch and composition is spot on - but then I realise that's probably engineerd to a large degree. It looks slightly too saturated to me, but that could be this monitor (I'm at my parents' house!)

I feel the colours seem a little too intense, although it looks great on my new iPhone.

Hello Vince

Great shot that seems a long time ago now all that car trouble and of course you running over my kit with a big 4x4



Danny

Intense and vibrant ultra low key shot Vincent that impresses the hell out of me

Hi vince,

Hello
This is a nice bird in beautifull evening light, it is also a nice setup.well thought.
Frederic

Sorry Vince!

Not my cup of tea at all. Looks like the white balance is way off to me. A nice composition spoiled. Looks more like it was taken on one of those funny Canon things! LOL

Ian

Hi Vince looks over saturated to me too,but not a nit as this can be adjusted...still a cracker.............wish I took it

Hi Vince,

Have a tweak with the colours and you'll make superb image a stunner.

Regards

Rob

Super shot but does look a touch too red on my set up

Simply gorgeous shot, agree with warmth comments, but this is just a tiny tweak, as it really gives the impression of an autumnal sunset - superb.

Mark

Lovely capture, looks great with the autumn colours.
john

A wonderful frame and comp I would pull the sats down a hair nice sunset photo

Tony

Thanks for the comments, very much appreciated

The tones are a bit warm & red I know but when that sun dropped it was amazing, what you see is the actual colours that was captured. The over saturation pointed out was my thoughts to but because this was the scene at the time, I captured it.


All comments & critique taken on board, this is why I like it here

You should of been there & saw Danny's face when I reversed over his camera bag with a 4x4 Lucky nothing was damaged was it

bl**dy marvellous quite the best picture of a tawny owl that I have ever seen.

Very nice vincent, looks perfectly at home to me. No nits inmy book.

Fantastic shot!
