Barn Owl
Hi all

This is one from my Barn Owl project at the end of last year. I had a number of sessions where the light was a little uninspiring and this is one of the images captured during those times. I've processed this many times and always end up paranoid that there's a colour cast. How's it look to you guys?

Canon 1dmkIII 500mm f7.1 1/800 iso 200

To be honest Simon I would kill for a shot like that :smile:

Looks fine to me I assume it was in evening sun, its a lovely shot



Regards

Nothing wrong with this, except for the green flush of jealousy on my face. Great shot.

I’m envious of this one, the barn owls that I get the chance to shoot never seem to land in range, lovely shot

Looks ok to me. And if there is a colour cast - so what ?
