1D2n, 600mm f4 is x1.4, 1/1250s, f6.3, iso 400

I've looked at this many times since I took it. Sometimes I like it, sometimes not. Tonight I like it! The background is bracken and heather. Comments and critique appreciated as always.

I like it - a superb composition held together by the diagonal lines matching the owl.
Great stuff.

Lovely shot, beautiful colours, I really like the unusual composition here.

Works well, whether you like it or not, the fact that you come back to it means that is is memorable for one reason or another.

Excellent capture, well seen and taken.

Lovely shot, the colours are superb and the owl looks terrific against this background.
