One of those images that got overlooked in the first edit of a sequence because other shots grabbed my attention, but revisited after a few months I think its one of my favourites!

Canon EOS 1Ds MkII + 600mm f4 IS + 1.4X, beanbag on car window, Breeze browser and CS3

Smashing shot Nigel! It looks marginally less grumpy than most little owls for some reason... :wink:

Cheers

Yea, I can see why it has now become a 'favourite', the inclusion of the nettle, the bird's pose, shape, one eye'd look and the lovely colours combined make it a most attractive owl shot. I love it.
