The Perfect Pair

Thanks for looking and commenting.

At f 2.8 the OM 350 is still very sharp, however the depth of field is razor thin, even more so with the 1.4TC attached. Stopping down to f4 or 5.6 will render more of the birds in sharp focus and still isolate them from the background.

I have thought about re-working the image to try and remove the cast but ended up deciding against it. The picture was taken on May 21 and the spring foliage is still nearly translucent which is what caused the colour cast. On a bright sunny day like this it was the inescapable but very natural light under a thick green canopy so I decided to leave it as it is.

Great shot Gary,

I wonder if it had placed even higher without the green colour cast on the owls (which I know is due to the green forest where they're sitting ;-))
