Hi all,

Here is an image of a Short Eared Owl that was very obliging and sat on this post for a minute whilst I rattled off some images. It was taken in NE Norway during a recent trip specifically to photograph the bird life inside the arctic circle.

C&C most welcome.

Cheers

Austin

One very obliging bird Austin.

Might be a tad central for some, but a nice portrait nonetheless. :toast: :toast:

Their amazing stare and facial features captured perfect here Austin,the composition does work well,but for me a tad more over to the right.Detail and colours are spot on,beautiful SOE. :wink: :wink: :wavey:

Classic pose Austin, like the way it's looking down the barrel. :wink:

A change from four legs, nice one. :wavey:

Great pose and the stare really sets the image off.

As already been said a tad central but otherwise a fantastic image. :toast:

Hi Austin,
That is an absolute beauty. Great eye contact and what eyes - I love it. I have been back to it a few times now and every time I arrive I feel it has a slight magenta cast; probably my monitor or my dodgy eyes as no-one else has mentioned it but it might stand another look?
That takes nothing from the shot though.

Hi all,

Thanks for your feedback.

Eric, others have seen a magenta cast as well. I appreciate that kind of feedback as I find myself missing such details from time to time.

Cheers
