Barn Owl flight shot (c)
Due to workload I took a bit of time out to test out different shots of our birds in their new environment. This was taken yesterday during a flight session with Paddy the Barn Owl.

(c) in title for captive bred,

Thanks for looking :toast:

Can't fault it Vince... oh except the BG seems a bit noisy on my laptop :wink: so it's probably my laptop as no one else has mentioned it :toast:

Now this one does have a low light feel, great shot, for me I would like more room.

Nice one Vince.
The shorter focal length gives a different and very pleasing perspective.

Cracker as per Vince:especially with105mm - you could have grabbed hold of him as he passed!

Very nice - I agree just a little tight. Amazing considering focal length.
