Another lovely image John. Sharp and clean

very nice John :)

You might not have many Barn owls John but you have these splendid little fellows as you have captured well here.
Another bird that is in a steep decline on this side of the country.
Well done.

Major.

John - just had another look and spotted a tiny white dot to the right of the bird just below the line of the beak. Can't be my screen as it moves when I scroll up and down

Got it !
I had to look hard. It's what I think is termed a "dead"pixel.
My old D200's got loads of 'em !!
What the hell. With my 45 p pension rie I'll save up for another. I'll need to be about 243 years old I reckon !!
Cheers

Superb shot John. Beautiful colour and sharpness, well exposed.

very well executed, lovely colours

Well up to your usual high standards, John

A little large in the frame for my personal taste, John, but otherwise a superb quality image.

Great pose John. a very intimate portrait of this lovely species.

Great shot John, but I reckon it could do with lighting up a touch it looks a tad flat.

Agree that the flat light isn't helping this shot, in good light it would be a cracker. Clean and tidy

Looks good to me John

Thanks all.

Second one for me John - the lift in the mid-tones brings the shot to life.
Nice bird I see little of.

Cheers,

Lovely John , big in the frame and a very endearing look to the bird , never seen one here , just hares and barn owls !.

Wish I had these birds in my garden, lovely image John.
