Barn Owl
One from the other day :smile: spent a while watching this bird hoping she would land on an old wooden post but she had other ideas and landed on the only metal post about for miles :rolleyes:

Oh well, keep trying....

1/320 @ F5.6 EC 0 ISO250

No problem with the perch for me. The diffuse lighting is superb :toast:

Really nice portrait and soft light. The post actually fits in ok colour wise, but I can sympathise with things not landing where you want them! :smile:

Lovely light and nice soft tonal lighting. You can't tell them where to land. :smile:

Hi Tony,

The beautiful bird, nice backlighting and attractive backgound more than make up for the metal perch.

Great shot. The perch is irrelevant as the bird stands out so well in the light.

The perch is rubbish :wink:

But I'd be well happy with it. Nicely done Tony :toast:
