Here is the original as a few voters were interested in the non desat version.This ones for skiprow.
This is a very sharp photo of an owl (just curious, is an eagle owl and great horned owl the same thing, because I'm pretty sure this is a great horned owl?) The eye color doesn't work for me, though. 6.
Whilst there's always a fun aspect to selective de-sat, I have to say I dislike almost all uses of the technique: it makes your image more about your processing than your photography. The sheer weirdness of the stand-out eyes in a black and white image immediately distracts from consideration of your capture of the subject.
I am not so sure I like the selective desaturation in this. I would love to see the colours of the owl. The photo is so clear and detailed but I think just leaving the eyes in colour takes it down a notch or two.
Great owl shot and the desat is done perfectly even if I don't like it. (It could be just that the eye colour seems wrong or there's not enough contrast in the rest of the image to balance the strong colour)
Eek - I don;t want to meet him on a dark night. I dont know if I like the coloring job here, it certainly is striking and those eyes are piercing. Maybe Mr Owl would look as fierce with his natural colors? or a toned down eye? Maybe i'm just too rightbrained for this. Technically it the flawless, sharp, perfect DOF, composition, compelling, I can't stop looking at him.
