Long Eared Owl (c)
Took this the same time & location as yesterdays photo session with the birds I work with.

More or less a full frame shot with little cropping to frame.

I have placed (c) in title for captive bred. She's a real beauty isn't she :smile:

D2X - 400mm AF-S
ISO 200, F3.5, 1/50sec

Thanks for looking & thanks to Danny Green & Steve for a great day.

Too tight to the top of the frame for me Vince. Again lovely light and a good perch

framing is perfect, Danny's post from Mull is awesome - the lichens match the bird - and the lighting is the icing on the cake.

Cracking shot but then I would say that any way :wink: John your powers of observation are amazing when I found this post it had owls written all over it. Vince I am safely at home now to look at some images, thanks for all your help you are a star :cool:

Hi Vince,
This really is a fabulous image, the colours are just wonderful and the framing works for me.
