Barn Owl Chick

This little guy is at a rehab. I had to use a pretty high ISO as the sun was setting and I needed a decent shutter speed to keep up with all the movement!

ISO 2500, 1/250, f7.1
5D2@ 100mm macro
C&C appreciated!

What a cutie! Looks like really nice detail, but sure would like a larger image to enjoy!
Nice perch too.
I hope he isn't hurt, " just " orphaned.

Sweet looking bird in some tough light. No nits, but it sure would have been nice with a better BG.

Love this pose with the wide stance, and the eyes seem pleading somehow.
Excellent job in the fading light Eirini.
You have captured the essence of this wonderful creature in marvelous fashion :toast:

It sure looks sad: almost human features too. Nice comp. Probably good detail but it is hard to tell at this image size.

Excellent shot. Chick so cute, perch is beautiful. 100mm macro is one of the best lens. TFS.
