    Awesome work!!! Sharon, I love the backround treatment! There is a BIG owl around here somewhere, I have only seen it once, at dusk gliding silently through my backyard. I hear him often.

  • Sharon K. Shubert replied

    Don’t you just love hearing him at night? Kind of eerie sounding, but cool. :) Glad you like this one Brian.

    wow, I love the way he melts into the colors of the background, just like real wildlife does in the woods…Perfect!

  • Sharon K. Shubert replied

    I took the contrast levels as high as I could without changing colors to make him NOT melt into the background. I wanted him to stand out against the similar colors. Now I’m wondering if my browser is different than other people’s since he appears melted into the background on your browser. ?? Glad you like it though. lol….

    This is fabulous work as always, my dear!!! Beautiful image of this gorgeous guy…he almost looks like he’s on a branch about 30,000 feet above earth! So he hoots outside your window? Lucky you!! LOL.

  • Sharon K. Shubert replied

    YES! You know what? The background is a view from probably higher than that above the earth! I changed the colors of the shot then did a few more tweeking techniques before adding owl. Yes I hear him quite often. ;)

    Thank you Bev! :)

    Perhaps, I said it wrong, I meant that it looked so natural! Robert and I have a saying, when we think something is just perfect, we say it just melts together! And that’s how I thought about this guy. Don’t change him! :)

  • Sharon K. Shubert replied

    Oh ok Donna. ;)) I see what you mean. Thank you and I won’t change him.

    Sharon, this is definitely one of my favourties of yours, I absolutely love all those tones of colour, the background is amazing :)))) A definite two thumbs up!

  • Sharon K. Shubert replied

    That’s so nice of you to say Trish. I’m glad it’s one of your favorites. :)

    Superb picture. Afraid he melts into the background a bit in my browser

  • Sharon K. Shubert replied

    Really? That’s too bad. Donna explained what she meant by that….not really melting into the background at all….so I don’t know why your browser would show it like that. :(

    It’s probably my old monitor combined with my even older eyes. The colours are beautiful.

    I know I’ve already commented before on this, but I just love it – could easily see this on someones wall blown up into a large canvas – definitely my most fave of yours :))

  • Sharon K. Shubert replied 17 days ago

    Someone who purchased this print told me it looks like a painting hanging on their wall and that they just love it. So they asked me if I had anymore owls the other day. I made “Out On A Limb #2” at their request. Thank you Trish! I’m glad you like this one so much. :)
