Re: Owl
Thanks for the replies everyone.
It is not Molly, it is one of two "baby" owls that are currently in training as a duo. Unfortunately I was so intent on getting a photo of them, I forgot to make a note of their names.
Will have a go at cloning out the straps and doing something with the blown sky and will repost when I have done to see what you think - may take me a while, but I will get there :tongue:

Re: Owl
Nicely done Collette.
I have taken nearly the duplicate of that shot, but taken from a slightly higher angle, so that the sky didn't affect the background. I processed mine slightly lighter and I did clone out the jesses.
I understand Brian's comment, but my view is that if I say that it was taken at a wildlife centre (the HCT in this instance) or I mention that jesses have been removed, then there is no intention to deceive the viewer. In my shot, I considered the jesses a distraction - I could have taken two paces to the left and the jesses would have been hidden by the post.
It is a Ural Eagle Owl.

Re: Owl
Hi Collette;
I think that's a brilliant job; I doubt I could have attempted that; specially with the fine detail of the bird's feathers...
One small nit-pick; the remnants of your water-mark are bang in the middle to the right of the bird's belly... I'd take that out...
Otherwise; well done... Give's Colin's image a run for it's money now!!!!!
Cheers...I actively encourage constructive comment & critique of any image I post!
Feel free to edit & re-post as you see fit - but please - tell me what you have done to 'improve' the shot!

I am going to try again and additionally lighten the image up - as it seems to have become darker than the original one.
I will just post a link to the next version on my flickr account.
Thanks to all for the encouragement and suggestions, it is really appreciated and helps so much.
