Real glut of cracking owl shots on here at present. So at the risk of owl-ing people out here's one from a session I had in some lovely late afternoon sun last weekend.

40D + 500mm, ISO 200 at f6.3 for 1/200
Tripod
Almost full height square crop from landscape original (there is space on both sides if any other crop suggestions?)
One prominent stem cloned bottom left

All comments welcomed

Don't mind being owled out by that one - it's a cracker! I like the intensity of the gaze. Not sure about the crop - be interesting to see the original.

Thanks guys. These owls can get pretty addictive! Going to have withdrawal when they head off! Full frame below, just sharpened a bit bit nothing else altered from as shot

Agree that is very nice indeed... echo Dave, would love to see the full frame.. the opions are enormous here.....

As presented I would lose a bit from top and bottom with a little more on the left.

The intense stare is fantastic

Excellent, great eye contact! I think I like the crop as it is.
