Barn Owl over grass
1D2n, 600mm f4 is x1.4, 1/500s, f6.3, iso 640.

I was begging the sun to appear for a few minutes, but no joy. I'd love to have had this one crisper, but I'm keeping it 'til I get a better one!

Still a good one though !
Love the grass stems too.
Cheers

Good environment shot, like the colours, POV and movement within the grass. :toast:

I think we are all suffering from the lack of light at the moment, Ian. However, I still like this shot. You have the focus exactly where it needs to be (on the face) and there is just the slightest sense of movement in the wings and the grass.
