Looks OK to me - maybe a bit too big in the frame.
Why monochrome ?

I like that treatment a lot, I might have been tempted to reduce the contrast a touch to make it more silvery if it w as mine

Why Monochrome? Just fancied a change John from colour. When I turn to B/W it always leaves me unsure so I thought I would have another go.
Thanks for your comment Steve, I see what you mean & yes it does make a bit of improvement.. Cheers

I.ve been going through thousands of old negatives and I actually think monochrome has
a renaissance coming up.!

John, did it ever go away ?
I too have literally thousands of negs from 35mm upto 10x8 and I havent a clue what to do with them anymore
Just been looking at your site Vince, I must make the effort to get there this year and learn about owls, been trying to photograph the barn owls at Martin Mere over xmas and am frustrated at my efforts !

I think it works pretty well Vince. It looks a bit nocturnal in B&W as well, which is appropriate. Eric

A beautiful bird of course, but in addition to that I love how the light is revealing the texture in the wood.
