Little Owl Family (nearly )+adjustments
One from Tuesday night 7:40
You can see the problem with the light coming in from the right. Bit of work with levels and brighten tool etc. Not easy to crop either, as I didnt notice the left chick at the time. Wonderful birds to watch at close quarters. Just imagine doing this without flash in the old film days !
All I need now is the male in the group as well ! It'll never happen as they never appear together.
D200
Sigma 100-300 mm
800ISO
80th @f5
Neat image/levels/highlight&shadow.
Cheers

Love it! :toast: The stares from the chicks ties the image together nicely. I wouldn't crop it at all.

Ignore him John.... Someone who hasn't the nerve to post to back up his comments, and just wants to antagonise, I don't think he is worth the effort of even reading his posts....

What a great experience this must have been.... it all looks good to me.

You seem to find a hell of a lot of photographic opportunities around your patch and you always come up with the goods.
Another cracker John.
