    Sorry about the theft of your camera. Love the shot of the owl--you were close. My parents have a screech owl in their yard, but he has never posed this well.

    Sorry Adrian, hard to focus on the owl when there appears to be a stolen camera and laptop - geesh! Sorry to hear. I do like the owl shot - can't imagine being close enough to one.

    Your welcome Adrian! You should be able to do this on the .jpg as well. As for the eye the shadow/highlight adjustment might not do the trick using a curve on each of the eyes should do the trick!

    Did you loose your computer as well as your camera?

    Thanks Michelle - very pertinent comments as I was thinking of perhaps making a print from this. I will have to wait until I get a replacement computer before I can Lightroom/PhotoShop again - and even then I will have to search around to see if I still have the RAW file ;-( I'm hoping I'll get a chance to try those adjustments to bring out more texture & more eyes!

    I love the composition! Thinking out of the box, you do have shadows within the feather.

    As part of my fine art printing course last summer, I discovered the shadow/highlight adjustment in Photoshop. This adjustment really helps you have more control on your shadows and highlights. Here is a link on this adjustment:

    In addition, the eyes of your owl are draw me in but I believe if they were a little brighter they would draw me in even more.

    As well sorry to hear about your camera.

    I guess I could try to stretch things and find some way to make this relevent to this weeks challenge. But the truth is this is the last photo I took with my camera before it was stolen from the back of my car. Came across this guy while skiing with my camera looking for shadows in the forest - never did find a nice shadow photo, but was quite happy with this one, of the shadowy owl ;)
