Buzard in habitat (c)
Also taken at the Barn Owl center. Great to see this wonderful bird come in that close. I tried to include some of the surrounding and still end up with a nice comp.

iso 200 1/1250 sec. F4.5

the composition looks good to me Edwin, good eye contact too. A well captured image.

Yep, good comp and not often you see images of them flying so close to the ground. Nice image.
Cheers

Hi Edwin,

Lovely image! The wing position, motion blurr and the sharp head with good eye contact make this image for me, however I'm not too sure about the composition though!

The buzzard is lovely - so much plumage detail that we normally miss when they are soaring far off against a bright sky - but I'm not sure if the paler grass in the foreground is distracting me too much :smile:
