:wavey:Hey Bob, no techs this maybe divisive but i don't believe in them ... critique the picture not the camera settings, any obvious errors will be evident in the picture anyway :smile: :toast: :toast: :toast:

I like the tonal variation and the stare of the owl. Great stuff.

Hi Phil
I have to agree about your techs comment. -- being saying that for years. :biggrin:
However to be honest I find the "sunset" colour on this one a bit over the top. and a lift in gamma bit helps in my opinion too . A nice pic in its own right anyway though.
Cheers

IMO this needs cooling down a bit, if only on the LO - but a nice comp matey :toast:

Techs used to be seen as educational - I wasn't aware they were taken in any other way.

Stunning image Phil! Agree with slight nit on warmth and for me on the BG to the owl. Love that stare!!
