Sandy, Lovely, oh those eyes. Great capture. The hike was definitely worth it. Looks to me like you had a bit of a lighting challenge and pulled it off very well.

Excellent details and it looks like great camera settings for the amount of light you had..
She looks magnificent Sandy, job well done!

Nice, Sandy. Excellent pose and a good look at the eyes. Was this later in the day? Almost all the owls I saw in the mornings werer sporting "mustaches" from the nights feeding.

Nice one Sandy, I like the head turn with the shadow going half way over those yellow eyes, way to go.

Hi Sandy, Another great shot. I'm really glad that after all that planning you had some luck with these Owls. Of course, I told you that you would.
