Long Eared Owl during a sunset session (c)
This is a staged shot showing one of the Owls I work with called Tess.

This was taken during a relaxed session that was set up by Danny Green & collegue, late Summer 2006 close to sunset.

A pleasurable day Danny :toast:

This is a full frame shot & straight from the camera without any photoshop work. I could of cropped this image many ways but I decided to go with the full frame shot instead. Might be a bit central for some but I do like this.

Thanks for looking :toast:

Lovely and I think the rusty barbed wire adds some balance to the image from being all up and down. Very nice.

Great clour and display of camouflage, the comp looks like it needs a bit of work. I like the barb wire as well, nought like a bit of rusty barb wire.

It is a bit central for me, but incredible camouflage. Great light as well :toast:
