Barn Owl

Not been out as often as I would like but sitting by a little owl site this barn owl did a fly by. Ten minutes later on my way home with light all but gone; there he/she was posing. Shot from the car window. Not sure about the crop.
Canon 50D 1/60 at f4, 600mm F4, ISO 250.

Looks good to me Bob, like the pose and eye contact....

Nice work.

Composition works perfectly for me, as does the setting. The only small nit is the catchlight in the birds right eye which looks a little wierd, although I know this can often be the case depending on the light and setting.
A very nice portrait though, regardless of the catchlight.

A very nice image Bob. I like the dark b/g which compliments the light plumage of the owl well.

Gorgeous! Colours look great to me. Maybe a little more space on top?

Lovely portrait and very good detail, BG is great

A very fortuitous encounter Bob. Composition is fine, though I agree a little extra on top would balance it a bit better. I love the 'tatty' perch and dark background and, for me. the flat lighting has really given the image that dusky feeling and shows the detail in the plumage that lifts the picture to another level. I really like this, nice one.

Really like the composition here with the branch from the bottom left corner leading into the owl. Gorgeous colours on the bird too. I think the only constructive comment I would make is that the small angled branch on the bottom right corner rather catches my eye so maybe this could be removed.

Hello Bob.

Very nice and like the setting, but would agree about getting rid of the sitck bottom right.

Beatiful shot Bob. Everything just so. good work.

Thanks all for looking, I dislike cloning things out, where does one stop, hence the stick bottom right but understand what you say.
