Barred Owl Repost

I lightened the face and made the leaves darker as Sandy recommended.I agree they were distracting. I could not make the eyes any lighter because they are naturally black. I think it looks better than the original post. Thanks for the comments everyone.

This version certainly has more pop than the first one Bill and I prefer it. If you have the pixels available and the crop held up, I think it would also look nice with just the tree trunk and the bird, cropping just inside the edge of the trunk on each side.

I like Nate's idea. Good, if you can do it.

Bill, A very nice improvement on an already-good image!
Just so you know, you can also post a re-post in the same thread as the original, using the "browse" box to locate the re-worked image. Then, hit the "add comment" link and it will appear.
This way, both images are easily seen by anyone looking in the thread.

Nice work! Wish it were mine!

Sandy

Nice improvement on the re-post. I like Nate's recommendation for the vertical crop.
