Managed to get this in the gloom of the last few days weather.
My spirits have been lifted by seeing at least five different Barn owls around my local patch.
Now if we can just get some nice sunny weekends.

1D3, 500F4IS+1.4, 1/400, F 5.6, iso 640,
50%crop, noise ninja.
6.00am ( will be 5.00am after the clocks change :frown: )

Very nice image Gary , looks to have quite a few artifacts around the edges of the bird , must be a conversion thingy , still a nice capture.

Very nice ! Not fair we don't see many.
There may be a slight colour cast on the face and back but maybe my monitor.

Nice shot Gary, but as the light isn't helping much a that time of day. There is a bit of 'overspray' around the edge of your layer mask by the way.
