Great-horned Owl

These were taken Canadian Raptor Conservancy. The bird was flying towards a sun set, all natural light.. I seemed to like the way the wings are fully extended forward with the details of the feathers highlighted. The photo requires a second look to see what is being photographed. Nikon D600 with 105mm 2.8 lens. Image cropped and background toned down.

Great light and an interesting and unusual flight position, John. I'm a bit ambivalent about the head being completely obscured by the wings, but it is neat. If you have it, a bit more room in the direction the bird is flying would be nice.
