Kathleen, this is just elegant, what a lovely capture - since we read left to right I flipped it LR and would like your opinion as to whether flipped makes it easier for the eye to go thru the frame Posted: 04/08/2025 15:56:25
Thank you Butch! I could not see your flipped image, so I tried it in Lightroom. I like it both ways! Reading left to right, in the first image we are following the flight, and in the second, the gaze of the owl's eyes. :) Posted: 04/10/2025 23:31:23
What a great photo! I think you could crop this photo a dozen ways and have a lots of wonderful perspectives. Posted: 04/20/2025 18:11:28
