Rework to remove color cast. All I did was hit Auto Color :slight_smile:

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

The barred owls were back at the state park wetlands area this morning. Thought I’d post another shot I got. This one cooperated and flew to an unobstructed perch.

Specific Feedback

I left in the branch on the right. Notice the robber fly on the rightmost extension. Think I should leave in the branch or take it out?

The stick is fine with me, Allen. Excellent detail n the owl. I don’t know if there’s a slight green color cast or if the owl had gotten it’s plumage a bit stained from all the moss, but it looks a bit greenish to my eye.

Thanks Dennis,
I thought so too about the green cast and reduced it some already. Maybe I should do another round.
