Taken fromt he car on a bean bag.

A great shot, pity he isn’t looking to the left, and not out of the frame. But you take what you are given.

Still a nice shot Major :toast:

This works for me Major, the bird looking out of the frame implies a big world outside of the confines of the barn, a tricky exposure well handled too; that must be a big bean bag if your car fits on it! :smile: :smile:

I like this and can honestly say that I am very jealous... a classic image of a Barn Owl.

Very nice indeed Major, though I agree with Ray in that it would have been better if the bird had looked into the frame.

For me it looks a better image than if it was looking the other way - very nice shot Major :wavey: :wavey:
Posted by Major Gilbert on January 29, 2009 at 2:51 PM
Thanks for that everybody. I do have it facing the other way but much preffered this one myself.. :wavey:

I love the composition - a scene I've sadly never witnessed.
Posted by Mark Wilson on January 29, 2009 at 3:57 PM
Excellent stuff Major, a great composition and I really like the bird looking out of the frame.

Excellent image! Fantastic composition. The bird looking out of the frame is what makes this image for me, sometimes breaking the 'rules' works, and this certainly works!!
