Long-eared Owl

From the same session as my last post.  These are not at all common on this side of our northwest mountains, but this one was brought in.  I was fascinated by its lean shape compared with all the other species and it's generally elegant looks.  I got lucky on this one and got a canvas tarp as a background (I think they were using it to help cut down drafts from a large garage door at the end of the building).  The odd light on the belly is from the projected slide show that went with this presentation.

5D3, 70-200mm f4 ISL, hand held, f/5.6, 1/160, iso 3200, aperture priority, pattern metering, -2/3EV.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Cropped from the top and left a bit, mainly to get rid of the edge of the tarp on the left.  In retrospect, I think it would have worked better to have cloned in some more tarp there and left the extra room on the top as the subject feels a bit centered in the vertical direction to me now.  Taken January 9th at 10:41 AM under flourescent lighting (not sure what color the bulbs are).

I appreciate your comments on the Saw-whet.  I may not be commenting too much over the next week as I'll be traveling and confined to a tablet which doesn't have as good a display as I'd like.

Thanks,
