Red Morph Screech Owl

[padrepaul]

From a nearby park in Hastings, Minnesota not too far from where I live. Part of him was in the shadow but was able to work on him a little in RAW and bring up the shadows. Thanks for any feedback.

Nikon Z9, VR 800 5.6, 1/500, ISO 3200.

Great photograph. The only thing I might try is to reduce the contrast a tiny bit, but that's just me.

Thanks for the feedback, he was fun to watch popping up and down in his nesting hole.

Great shot.

As good as it gets. Great image, Paul.

Both beautiful images. On my monitor the tonality and contrast look a little softer on the second image which, to my eyes, looks better, is more appealing and enhances the owl's gorgeous colouring against that bark. Great work.
