Back in Action at last (c)
Here is basic shot taken this evening of a great companion we call Tess, a captive bred Long Eared Owl.

Tess has been out of action & away from the camera for about a year now & at last she is now active for the season ahead where she will be getting more involved with core activities.

Beautiful bird, seems the x has fallen off your D3, sensible man.

Beautiful shot! I'd maybe tempted to give a slight rotation to bring the eyes level though to make it perfect.
Thanks for sharing.

Agree with simon, if only just a tad of rotation. Other than that, pretty damn good shot !
