Not sure i should post this or not,got this bird at some distance with a 300 so had to crop it a bit,i have not tried to change it trying to keep the atmosphere of the time of day and the weather,be interested to know how other people view it.

Keith

Captures the weather and the Owl perfectly, image is enhanced still further in the larger version.

It certainly captures the weather conditions of the day Keith, a nice shot. I think I'd prefer a touch off the top and maybe a bit more on the right if you have it.

Under the circumstances Keith & the crop you have done extremely well. I like the atmosphere created, but agree, you could lose some off the top. Can you tell me what has cause the slight darker area that runs over the bottom half of the image, just seems to light for FG objects, but... :wink:

Thanks for your helpful comments with this image,Steve i think the dark areas are a woodland in the distance through the fog.
Keith. :smile:

I assume that Keith, I guess the fog was lower than the head part, as that is clear. BTW, watch the halo on the front of the owl, from the branch working up. :wink:

That is quite a unique image Keith and makes you look twice. Personally I love it!
