One more from the other night. The afterglow was intense, as seen here. This was taken as the glow faded. Ron, the owls seem to like this branch. Thanks for the comments on my last photo. 7D, ISO 3200, f/8, 1/200, 300mm, small crop off top and left side

Now that's a silhouette! Perfect outline on the bird to be able to recognize it as a large owl. The color is intense but certainly appears believable. I like the feeling I get that this is a shelterbelt likely around an old farmstead, seems many owls like to hang out there. Well seen and photographed Rob. :toast:

Dramatic image. That sunset was really intense. Of the two, I think I like the first one better, but both are superb!
