Barn Owl

Gallery: Regional: UKNPPosted April 15, 2011162 views7 comments

Still have a lot of barn owls to go through from my time in Norfolk but I quite liked the budding tree in this one that the owl was about to land in. Not my usuall type of background but decided to keep it.

I think it would be a crime not to have kept it. You can't beat the plain backdrop's at times, but at other times you can't beat a bit of habitat showing. It works for me.

It works because the owl is looking at something, were it all blank it would not fit somehow! Very well done for not deleting it.

Another very fine Barn Owl image, Karen. BG is not an issue where I'm concerned.
