I went down to see if the little owls I shot in 2008 had returned this year. They weren’t there last spring. I parked the car, laid the feed out, called a few times and waited not long .Within ten minutes the bird came winging into the over head tree, spent a few minutes eyeing me up then swooped down and agreed to pose.

1D mk3.-600/f4-ISO 400-1/500 at f5- car window. Cropped to 30% of full frame.

I like the warm light on this one and the quality looks pretty good too for such a large crop too.
Good one. :cool:

A very strong and detailed portrait image Bob. I think we can see the profile of your car in the eye ?

Nicely done.

Cheers

Austin
