Yet another Barn Owl
I know there is a shadow but I just like the colouration to this one.

Superb lighting and background , but its the concentration on the birds face that makes it for me.

I love the subtle muted colours of the background and the lighting on the owl is great.

Hello Major.

Thats beautiful.

The light, colours, and the back ground just work so well together.

I've enjoyed your Barn Owl pictures but this one is my favourite so far.

Nice, very nice. The pose and general composition are right on the money as is the definition, exposure etc.. Nice one.

This is one of those images that makes my jaw drop. That face is just superb set against such a complementary background. The shadow doesn't bother me in the slightest, but I would be tempted to remove the small rogue twig bottom left.

Up to your usual high standard, Major. Like others, that tiny bit of shadow simply does not bother me.

Shadow doesn't bother me at all Major. You are right about the colours though, just beautiful. Composition spot on too. One of my favourites from your barn owl shots :smile:
