This is a shot of an Elf Owl that was taken in SE Arizona at Battiste B&B. There is a pair of Elf Owls that have successfully nested every year for over 15 years (or their offspring has). These owls have had over 10,000 photos taken of them over that time. The point is, they do not seem to be bothered by flash or light. This shot had a fairly good light fall off behind the bird, but I still darkened the BG and slightly brought up the exposure on the owl. There is a small crop from the R (to remove a reflective leaf) and I cloned out a leaf behind the head. Would you attempt to do anything with the OOF portion of the perch? Would be tough I would think.
