Snowy Owl at Twilight

Thanks for any comments (click for larger image).

Very nice capture Sean! A really successful twighlight shot. Nice mood for the owl. Great wing position and detailed view of markings.

Very nice, Sean!  Smooth and noise free for iso 1600...any noise reduction in post?

Great view of the eye and wonderful colors!

Best regards!

Dick

Hey Dick, yes, I ran it through the Nik dfine noise reduction plugin in Photoshop -- at least the background, not the owl. I rarely use noise reduction because I like the look of noise better than the plasticky look of heavy noise reduction, but in this case it seemed to help.

Bravo Sean, considering the lighting conditions you have achieved an outstanding result, ciao Giangiorgio
