Evening All

Paid a visit to my local barn owl patch yesterdat evening and was greeted by this little fellow running along the track towards me. Being a curious youngster he came incredibly close to me (I was on my belly) and checked me out from about twelve foot away before deciding I was an "iffy" character and showed me his tail!

I realize there are many things wrong with this shot - being too central for one - but it does make me smile, and on a wet and miserable day like today, I'm all for that!

Canon 1d mkIIn, 100-400, f6.3 1/500, iso400 horizontal crop from vertical (don't ask!)

Regards

Simon

I actually really like this. I suppose that it would be even better if the animal was a little further to the right but it doesn't really bother me. Love the inquisitive look with ears forward - definately more than just an amusing grab shot.

Cracking image Simon :toast:

Any chance you could add some space to the left frame - he's a bit 'central' - or is that full frame width - portrait??? what were you thinking :confused: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Cool shot. either a crop off the right or adding to the left would balance it better. Bit central as you've said :toast:

Makes me smile too, and to be honest I don't seem to have a problem with the subject being a bit central, for some reason it seems to work here.
