    Very bright sunshine did me no favours, I adjusted as much as I could
    with my very limited knowledge of PS. Added a border new exercise for
    me but is it a bit O.T.T. ? Would appreciate any comments :)

    I don’t like these types of border … they intrude on the subject. In this one, you’ve got a tengent on the head, cut off the shoulder and for me, thrown off the composition by using this type of border.

    The light made this shot a no-go. You might have gotten something by spot metering from the bright part on the left but there would have been a lot in the shade.

    Now I’ve gotten that all out, I’m gonna watch some grown men bash each others brains out on TV.

    Joe don’t like this kinda border
    Thinks they’re really out of order
    It’s not the border that spoils this shot
    It’s the fact the feathers are blown to pot
    Just look for hotspots on your screen
    Before you leave the shooting scene
    And if you need a second shot
    Add it to the one you’ve got
    But expose it down a stop or two
    You might find the job it’ll do.

    Bring it on ye pup :lol: :lol:

    Oh and on the picture issue, yes it is a little blown but I imagine it would damn hard to get that shot perfect. Ye did
    well to get that level of detail. IMHO
    Also borders are always a personal thing. I’m not a fan of decorative borders I prefer the simple black or white approach but
    thats just me.

    Don’t give up on borders Shutterbug. A nice simple white border can make an image stand out I think. Borders like the one you’ve chosen here can take away from the image which is not a good thing, especially if it infringes on the subject itself.

    Personally I hate these damn snowy owls.. :shock: Can never get the exposure right and they just have no idea how to behave in front of a camera!! :wink: :wink:
