What a lovely scene. I like the way the bird is framed and stands out against that vibrant orange/brown. Not sure if there is rim lighting of the bird and foreground twigs, or if it might be a little oversharpened?

A very good looking image. The silhouette of the owl looks superb against the orange sky.

A very nice image which is really enhanced by all of the elements of undergrowth around the frame

I really like this, its one of those pictures that leaves one asking, what happened next, was it coming or going?.

Very nice indeed! I always feel envious when I see photos of barn owls as it's something I'd love to get a good shot of. In fact, I've only ever seen 3 and never when I have my camera with me :rolleyes:

Very nice! The colour is great and I love the frame of trees. Very different and a great shot!

Nice work Major... Can't beat a good days viewing of Barn Owls...

Great colours. I'ld have thought you'd have added in some black stuff top right to balance the image. Glad you didn't though! I would crop it vertically to eliminate most of the silhouetted bushes leaving just the twiglets along the bottom edge.
