Omen

Considering this for the mega challenge. The theme is "one word". Please give me your thoughts.

Thanks,

I'd get rid of whatever that is on the left. I think there still will be enough room for composition.

The vignette is fine...see what a lighter one would look like.

Great subject, pose and perch.

I might try making the shot warmer too...not sure.

Just noticed...I'd get rid of some of the saturation of the blue in the shadows...particularly in the face area.

or maybe this:

Hooters

Love your sense of humour. Hooters works!

The first shot, Omen, seems sharper to me. But the second one's name really works.

Mmmmm...well first I am jealous. I never seem to be able to find owls of any sort even though I know they are near me. I agree with Ric's comments about the first image although I tend to like the darker feel since the title is, "Omen." The second one would be great but it looks like the second owl was added with some Photoshop magic. I would just remove it. The first I can't tell if if it was added but the first one to the left alone would be make a for a nice pic, but then again, you would lose your title.

I agree with Ric on getting rid of the left side as I too think there is enough to play around with, and maybe a warmer tone to the over all image would work well. Good compostion here.

Hey Dan,

I love that image. I played around with it a tad (adjusting contrast, warming it up, cropping out the tree on the left, etc.)

I got images that looked different but none that had the mood of your original. Cropping on the left loses the feel of the original so I wouldn't recommend that, Maybe cloning out the tree might work better. Warming it up a tad might improve it slightly also.

Your original is marvelous and I wouldn't play around with too much.
