Nice action John, but one little nit. The eye for me sadly.

Looks a tad soft and over-sharpened? - there are halos evident to the high contrast boundaries of talons and bill - :confused: as its 1/1000s?

Hi John,

Cracking pose! Is this full frame? I'm asking as it's shot with a 200mm lens and wondered how close you had gotten to it.

Not my cup of tea John. For me it is a bit too close. I much preferred the previous two posts, both of which were excellent.

Hi Guys thanks for your comments and you are quite right. The image is cropped but also the lighting is not great in this image. I just liked the actual stance of the Owl. :toast:

If this superb image had been posted before the others then the reaction might have been very different but as it is your first post is way ahead.
