Rim Lit Barn Owl

Been out searching for Barn Owls again lately, and found a couple of cooperative fellows!

This one landed on a post near to where I was sitting, and the sun gave him/her a nice rim light effect.

He/She was a bit further away than I'd like, so this is a bit of a crop.

Hope for more now I know where they are!

A good find and a good image. The green vegetation adds a lot to the scene. :toast:

Like this one very much. I agree with Justin with regards to the vegetation. Very nice indeed.

Really nice shot. You did a great job with the exposure. It doesn't take much light to blow out the detail in the face.

As has been said; well exposed. i think you could make more of the vegetation by cropping from the left.
