Just to clarify, by saying they were processed in Photoshop means that colors are balanced, perhaps a bit more contrast, sharpening, etc. This is standard practice among most digital photographers..you take what the camera shoots and make it better. This is simple processing, and much different than what most people think of as "photoshopped", when an image is seriously altered.
It's very easy to over sharpen an image, or, It may be that he didn't sharpen the image at all, and the owl was sitting at the max distance of that lens (doubtful). I'd dearly love to have a 500mm f/4.0.
Does your friend do other photography besides wildlife? I use Adobe Lightroom to process images, not as complex as Photoshop, but serves me well.
