Good eye contact here. I love these Owls there so small and seam to be able to pop in and out of view in a blink of an eye. Wish I could hold a 400mm as well as this.

Well done :toast:

Hi Vince,

Very very nice. Really like the colour and feather detail. And the intense stare of those eye's is just awesome.

Well done

Regards

Rob

With regards to the afternoon Danny, it was a pleasure :toast: Oh the digger, maybe I will upload it one day on one of your perches:biggrin:

Phil, the 400mm handheld is a doddle, I just need to pump meself up with compressed air before using it :biggrin:
