NIce capture. I spent some time over the winter after these with not too much success, and I would have been very pleased with one like this.

Love the blur in the wingtips to give a sense of motion

Super shot John of a bird on my hit list

Love it John: the blurred wingtips, the light (think the darkness adds to the atmosphere), the look of the owl totally focused on hunting
