Eagle owl (c)
I shot this one during a workshop Bird of Prey.
Cropping top and bottom and cloning some straps from the legs. Next time I want to try a faster shutterspeed. I think it's not sharp enough.

Exposure time 1/800 s
F-number f/4
Exposure program Shutter Priority
ISO speed ratings ISO 100
Metering mode Pattern
Flash Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
Focal length 500 mm

C&C please. Thanks.

looks fairly sharp to me Tom, but hard to tell at this size. A shame the eye is not brighter but probably not much you could do about that. I quite like the pano crop.

Looks pretty good on my monitor too Tom. The pano crop looks good although I would have given it a tad more room on top, but that is personal choice.
