Little Owl..
Since there have been a few Little owls posted recently and since I was sorting through some of my recent sightings, I thought I'd share one of the encounters of one of this years young..

Enjoy the rest of your weekend folks..

Nice one Brett
Drop the gamma to 70 and really give it sone Guts !

Gamma to 70 as requested.. I think it goes to dark for my liking but if it's what you like, I'm happy to accommodate.. Cheers John :wavey:

Superb image. Purely subjective, but I prefer the first as posted.

Nice shot either way, but I will go with the majority and say that something between the two looks right to me.

Thats nice either way ,perhaps 75 with a bit of shadows and highlights to pull back the shadows on the L/H side of the bird.
