Just back from a short trip to Belgium. Cold and windy but the beer was good and so was the food :smile: Did some landscape photography. Hope to show some shots later this week. Saw this owl in a Taxus Baccata in a Churchyard near where I stayed.

20D, 100-400@375mm, 1/250@f8, 580EX + BB - 2/3

Hi Paul

A little busy in there but importantly the head is in the clear - I like it!

Nice crisp eyes - the coulor really grabs you. Could have had a touch more sunlight on its face but otherwise a well executed shot.

Hi Paul

A nicely taken shot, I like the habitat of this shot and I agree with David that this shot works because the face is unobstructed and has good eye contact. Well spotted and well photographed. :toast:

cheers
