Not sure this is the right forum....
Very minimal digital manipulation, one image reversed, then collaged opposite the other image, and a slight crop...
I have been dreaming of this composition for a few months, since I took the same owl in nearly the same position with eyes opened and eyes closed.
Now, with the help of a friend, I have it, but cannot settle on a title...
Ideas welcome....
Thank you for looking and thinking, ugolino

Very cool idea which has been well executed. A possible title: "In the Blink of an Eye."

Love Ron's title! This is very clever- like it a lot, and yes, you're in the right forum for sure! This looks a LOT better when you click on the larger image! I think it is wonderful you got these two almost identical poses with the eyes open and shut. If they were closer together I'd say "How about a kiss, Sweetie?" The one on the right is perhaps feeling a little shy...

Beautiful owls, and nice processing.
There is a program in Photoshop where you could remove part of the black between them, to bring them closer together, and then allow more black on either side. I believe that would balance the image a lot more, and greatly improve it.
Very nice as posted!

Reminds me of just about every time I try to shoot a group shot! Someone always closes their eyes at the moment I click the shutter. I agree about bringing them a bit closer together.
