fantastic image John you are so lucky to see and photograph these beauties, look at those feet even see the detail on the pads, just lovely have enjoyed viewing these very much

This is great stuff, John. I think I would prefer to see it in portrait format rather than square like this, but that is just a personal thing.

Another stunner John

Brilliant sequence John.

Fantastic shot. The penetrating stare is really great.

Another great owl John. Those feet are amazing

Very intense John and another cracker from the series. Nicely detailed.

They just keep getting better. You are very lucky John to have these around.

Hi John

You're getting quite good a this photography lark
Great detail, good work.

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks again!
There were some strange blue areas on the original but only on one shot out of a series.
As I said DK helped with sorting it but I missed a bit under the left eye and on the brick to the left of the bird. Anyway nobody has noticed it so its the old case of worrying too much in the first place !
Cheers

The "eyes have it", John. Lovely subject well captured but not sure why you used f/8 - would have preferred the brickwork to me a tad more oof personally.

Thanks
Cliff
A lot of the shots had the feet slightly out or the head so I wanted to try to get most of the bird in focus. These birds tend to lean forward a lot.and there 's not a lot of depth at that distance.
