Experimenting with AI focus enhancement for slightly out of focus shots. Wanted to demonstrate that here. How do you feel about the use of AI photo editing? I'm generally against it, but if it makes a great shot usable, I'll use it.
Close-up photo of a Great Horned Owl with piercing yellow eyes and textured brown feathers, staring directly at the camera through a wire enclosure.
Locked eyes with this Great Horned Owl.
The detail in the feathers and the intense stare made this one of my favorite shots from my trip to the zoo today.
