Nicely processed sir for what looks like a pig of a lighting situation. As Simon says different to have one in a tree .

Rather refreshing Major not to see this fantastic bird on a post. Somehow the 'cluttered' BG doesn't really affect the image and is not, too distracting, it works well. The light really makes.

Nice one major, you don't normally see pictures of them in this type of setting

I like the different setting to many owl shots and you've got the lighting just right.

That’s a majestic looking bird Major, and a great perch, I wish I had a few trees at my main B/O site; it’s as flat as witches and trees less. One advantage though is that I can see them coming a mile or so away but just one tree would be nice. Lovely picture.
