Ghost Over Yellow (+repost)

My obsession with Barn Owls continues...!

Taken a few nights ago on an otherwise flat and uninspiring light evening, so thought the Oilseed field might pep things up a bit?

They do become a bit of an obsession I know lol. The bird shows up very nicely against the yellow, however I feel that if it was placed more to the left, and a little less off the bottom it would place more emphasis on the barny imho.

Never the less a great image and setting.

Wow thats a bright one! . Only nit from me is the dividing line between sky and Oilseed Rape!

I believe you can get therapy for the obsession

Love the Owl against the strong yellow, I think I would like to loose the OOF Oilseed in the foreground.

Not quite working for me, maybe a pano might be better on this occasion..? Just my opinion of course.

Thanks for taking the trouble to feedback folks, it's much appreciated, not to mention very helpful!

My thinking was that I quite liked the out of focus front and rear of the rapeseed field, it kind of helped give a bit of depth to the image and place the owl in the picture. Having said that, and taking on board the suggestion of losing the foreground and moving the owl left a little, and the pano idea, I think I prefer it now.

Or, have I tried to incorporate all of the suggestions and in the process made a muddle of it?!

Repost works much better in my opinion and gives more emphasis to the bird and the environment.

Brett

Yes that is what I had in mind... works very well indeed...

Re-post works well.
