Hunting in the dunes during the afternoon

C&C welcome

Nice one - I like the composition and the angle that the owl is flying in at. The dunes have rescued a boring sky and given a sense of the habitat too.

Hello Stephen.

Nice capture. Composition is good and I would agree that the dunes have helped the image alot, from just a plain sky.

Nice image the dunes have certainly helped here. They have added extra interest and have helped fill the frame. Without them the owl would have been small against a fairly plain sky and the image would not have been as good.
