About the Image(s)
Great Horned Owl photographed at a Raptor Rescue Center on Vancouver Island. This Owl was able to be coaxed to fly for his handlers for suitable meaty treats. However, at this moment a rabbit appeared from under a bush close to the demo ground and he took off in pursuit. The rabbit got away so no creatures were harmed in the creation of this image …. :-)
Due to the contrast in the feathering, I believe that Owls make for potentially good B&W images and I am asking for some feedback on this notion.
Nikon D850 & 180-400mm f/4
ISO 5000 1/2500 s f/4 390mm
Processed in color in Capture One with a crop and standard HDR adjustments. Converted to B&W using CEP4 with Digital Extractor and B&W Conversion filters

Relative;y simple to achieve by enlarging the canvas to the left and transforming a background selection to fit. A square crop seems to suit the image well. See below ....   Posted: 05/10/2022 04:17:05

Peter's suggestion is very interesting and is a technique I had forgotten about.   Posted: 05/12/2022 01:18:19
