Eye on the Prize

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted February 21, 2016318 views8 comments

When this weekly challenge, 'Big and Little', was announced, the first thing I thought of was nature's food chain. With that in mind, I offer this Barred Owl with it's eye on the next snack for the evening. Camera hand held in one hand with a flash light in the other to aid the AF, 50% of full frame.

Talk about elevenses! Nice capture and I like the owl's intensity.

Neat catch with the little flier, Mike. The lighting on the owl is great and the little one is quite the addition. Bet we don't have these hanging around the new location.

Very cool, Mike. Looks like your AF worked and you have nice dof.
