Who Watching Who

It's been a long time since my last posting and have missed all the feedback. Busy with new job and with every day life. Ready to get back to what I love. I was lucking to catch photos of this young Horn owl from the time he was born to right as he had left the nest. Please let me know your opion of the photo. All of your feedback has helped me in the past and will continue to improve what I love best.

After I posted the picture, I looked a lot closer and I can see where I cloned a small blur out of the bottom left hand corner. I was not able to cancel this photo out after posting so I wanted everyone to be aware of this little mistake and please give me feedback on the rest of the photo. That small mistake will be corrected! Thanks again for you comments in advance. No other manipulations where done on the photo.

Great stare and framing here Carlette. Very nicely done. (The cloning could use a bit of work, or just leave the blurry bit in there.) :smile:

Carlette,

Good to see you back. I like the look you appear to be getting a lot. I might apply just a little more selective sharpening to the owl, I know the feathers are very downy at this stage, but a smidge more sharpening might define them a little better.

Love that the small 'horns' are evident in this image.

Looks like a little teddy bear. Nice find and capture, Carlette.
