Evening Hunt
Had an enjoyable day with Tony, Phil and Brett last Saturday.After we had been waiting some while for the barn owl to turn up, we decided it was time to give up and walk back to the car. Whilst on our way back we realised the owl had been hunting in the next field, what a pleasure to see it, only to be joined by a second one after a short time!

It was my first time experiencing these in the wild, so it was a great thrill for me. Thanks guys.

Really like this. Nice light and subtle colour to the sky. Compositionally would perhaps trim a little from the top. Cheers, Mark

Nice image and I really like the side lighting to the face. Nice overall colours but would agree with Mark in terms of a slight crop.

Lovely shot Fran, nice light, great setting and the owl is spot on. Just the sort of shot I'm dying to get sometime :smile:

Thank you for your comments everyone. Looking at the image again I do agree about the crop.
