Another of the cute pair of fluffy baby Tawny Owls (Strix aluco) taken at BWC Lingfield the other week. Version 1 is digitally manipulated in that I have applied the HDR toning tool in CS5 to try and create a slightly toned watercolour effect in the image and V2 is the original. Definitely best viewed large if you have a moment.
Settings: F/5.6 1/2000sec -1.67EV ISO640 AV@78mm handheld
NOTE: As I forgot to enable mods for this, V4 is a mod by Richard(Mossyoak) which he emailed to me - I think it looks very good
Method: Tweaked saturation a little but mainly selective colours. Yellow to add a bit to the beaks and cyan and magenta to bring out the feathers. Then contrast and hue
Many thanks for your C&Cs on my Spotted Flycatcher upload with a special thank you to Ron (Maiwand), Mara (Maratsuikka) and Ed(Glostopcat) for their User Awards - very much appreciated

Hmmmmmmm you're getting brave Sylvia
Have to prefer V1 as it shows more vibrance here, but might have been inclined to lessen the green hue slightly and perhaps add just a little red to bring back the browns
Thats me with a tripod over my head tomorrow lol

Good point Richard Will have a go at a V3 when I get a moment, doing just that. Pity I didn't put this up for mods - don't think I can change that at this stage.
Sylvia
I like the contrast in v1 and colour in v3, so somewhere between 
Dave
Fabulous expressions Sylvia,love the image !! As to a favourite,has to be V1 for me
Very interesting set of images of a great pair of young owls. Well worked,
Johanna
