Owl Attitude
Seldom does one get an interesting shot when the subject has it's back to the lens.

Certainly a different prospective and well caught. That slight head turn helps this image....imo

Cheers

Great shot , as you say a rear end shot hardly ever works , I'm sure we all have a few of them on file but this one is great ,nice one.

Nice action shot - the angle of the head and the wings are fantastic - really captures the moment

Hey Paul,

That looks like it needed excellent timing to get the feet and head sharp. Perhaps a bit more contrast for me but you can't complain about the pose.

Thanks to everyone for the kind remarks. Hope I'm not boring you with this subject. Haven't photographed anything else for the last 6 weeks. Is this becoming an obsession?

Great timing to get this pose, certainly something different from the usual barn owl shots - I like it. And definitely not bored by them, I could watch them every day :smile:
