Thanks Todd. It was fun following the Owlets form early on until fledging. They seem to grow up very fast. Thanks for the nice comments. |

Thanks Michael for the comments. Yes they are resurrection ferns and of course in the live oak tree. It is amazing how they appear dead and one little rain that they are back. I go to Summerville and Monks Corner to photograph things once in a while. Again thank for the nice comments.

Thanks Larry. I went back and tried some of the suggestions. I darkened up the top of the image but left the left side as was because that's where the light was coming from. |

Hello David. Really nice image I like the contrast between the stone and the dead tree. Both really old feathers but one much older that the other. Both have strong shapes but so different from each other. Some how they complement each other. I too wonder if this image in Black and White would not be the way to go. |

Great image of this Red-tailed Hawk having a snack. I will agree with most of everyone's assessment of the image. It's a wonderful image but some pop would really add to the photo. I think maybe some addition to the contrast would do the trick. You may try the Tone Curve Medium Contrast in Lightroom and that may help. These are wonderful raptors and any good photograph is a winner and you have a god one.

OK I will definitely remember that the Keys are a good place to shoot the Milky Way. The next time I am down there I will put that in my plans. I would like to know if you had to go all the way to the 7 mile bridge to get the dark sky or was that just a favorite place? Good work finding a nice foreground. Using the Gradient Filter with the white slider to make the stars pop is something I would have never thought of doing. I believe I agree with David I probley would not have given so much attention to the rocks and would have even toned downed the tree some. You still need it in the foreground just toned down a smidge. It seems to draw more attention the the tree that should be going to the Milky Way. That's just a personal thought,. |

There's and image I would love to have. We had a Snowy Owl show up on a roof top on Tybee Island Ga. a year or two ago but it spent all its time on a roof top. Not the place I wanted to photograph a northern icon like a Snowy Owl. Maybe I should have taken the shot just to say I had photographed one. Your image is the one I want. Good composition, love the color of sand dunes with the grasses. A really wonderful image. I see you had the ISO in Auto and I know a lot of folks shoot like that. I have found that when photographing in situations when the light is at the extremes of light or dark that Mr. Auto wants to over correct and the ISO goes to far one way or the other. I can see that the day is overcast but I would suspect that 3200 was a little much and caused a ton of noise. This is just my method but on an overcast day I would have preset my ISO at what I thought was and expectable number and took a few test shots to get the lowest acceptable ISO. I like the image Jason and you did an excellent job capturing such a wonderful bird.

Wow Todd, a great capture of such a majestic animal. I wish the Bull would have been looking more in you direction with the profile shot. I think I would have liked it a little better. Maybe only one eye but you could have seen all the antlers. I see your concern about the bull being so close to the background but not much you could do about that. I do not mind the environment at all. It's his house. I may have not cropped as much but I don't know what was in the rest of the image. I would have liked a little more room above the antlers and in front of the bull. I noticed the blue on the hoof that is a little distracting, problem from something resulting for the post processing. All in All a great image.

Thanks Michael. I have never seen this Grouse before, so that is exciting for me. I have seen the Sage Grouse and of course the Ruffed Grouse we have here in the east . The camouflaged on these birds is wonderful. Being able to find them in their environment and still get great shots with all the detail is a complement to your hunting skill. I agree with the thoughts that Dave and Larry have so not to much for me to add. I do like the choice of the depth of field. It has allowed you to have good Bokeh and still keep both birds in focus. Good work on that. |
