The 3 Kookies had just a tad of sharpening and no other PP. It's one of those rare 'spot on out of the camera' pics. A touch of fill flash when taken helped.

Matt these are technically fantastic but I wonder how much better they might have come up if you shot from a slightly lower position - more at eye level.

Love the owl pic. Great lighting Matt.

They are two very nice pictures, but the second one is for me outstanding.

I love owls, I think it's just the way that seem to stare right through you, great pic

I have noticed on a couple of replies to images that people are refering to the Tawny Frogmouth as an owl, he is actually not an owl

Below is some info from the Australian Museum Fact Sheet on the Tawny Frogmouth

"With their nocturnal habit and owl-like appearance, Tawny Frogmouths are often confused with owls, but are actually more closely related to the nightjars. Their feet are weak however, and lack the curved talons of owls."

The entire fact sheet can be found here

Just thought it was useful information

Cheers
