Barn Owl 2
Thanks to you all for the comments.

I have taken your observations on board, I think the crop works, the bird is flying into space.

In answer to questions the bird appears at most times of the day, dull or bright.

It frequents rough grassland at the back of a salt-marsh.

Once again, comments are welcome

Excellent shot.The owl is positioned really well within the frame and I feel the balance of grass,trees and sky work perfectly together.
I particularly like the way the light has caught the wings,which really makes the owl instantly grab your attention and allows him to stand out so well against the darker backdrop.

Nice.... much much better with this crop, space to fly into a sense of the environment, just right...
