Bruce... I am jealous. The only places I know in the Sierra's to get predictable bear sightings are near garbage cans! Your editing makes a good photo a great photo.

Abhijeet - This is an interesting bird in that owls are usually only seen in the early morning or at dusk as they are nocturnal. I agree about the crop. Great idea to darken the log. I am not in favor of saturating the bird as it should retain it's true coloring; but darkening the background is appropriate.

Bruce -- I was very lucky to come across this owl. He was about 8 ft above the ground. The day was overcast with low fog resulting in a uniform brightness; not what a photographer wants but with an owl this close I was not about to fuss. |

Mary, thanks for the information on luminosity masks. I checked out the website and may indulge, but first will try using the Lightroom luminosity selection tool. By the way, your version of the photo was not attached. I would like to see it if not inconvenient.... can mail directly to me at kent@bossange.com if that is easier. - Kent

Isaac - Thanks for your input. You have definitely improved the image with your crop. Just for the record, this is a Great Horned Owl, not a Screech Owl. The Screech Owl found in the east is a little larger than a pigeon. The Great Horned Owl is about 18" tall but does emit a "screech" at night. |
