SEO in late evening light
Thanks for commenting on my last post. This is another SEO from a recent session, sitting on a fence post in late evening light. Comments and critiques are welcome and appreciated.

Lovely light Sandra and a nice direct pose from the owl. Not so keen on the fence but then you have to take what is on offer. Perhaps try a tighter crop with some off top and sides to minimise the effect of the fence? :toast:

Sweet lighting, gorgeous bird and I like the perch too, can't really ask for much more than that, Sandra :toast:

A real belter of an image Sandra, great pose, soft light and a killer BKG we all want to achieve. The fence adds a nice twist to the image. The larger image does the image justice.

Top marks. :toast: :toast:

The broken fence with its slightly wavey top makes the image stand out from the pack for me Sandra:wink:

What a cracking image, enhanced still further by the larger version a pleasure to view.

I think the fact that the fence is in such a shape has enhanced the shot. A conventional one would have been boring, !! :biggrin:
Nice Owl and light too ! :smile:

The fence really adds to the image Sandra, reminds me of park railings. Great light and colours. Spot on!
