Hunting Barn Owl

Not much to post at the moment so here is one taken a few weeks ago whilst out & about monitoring a nest site. Personally I think its a bit soft in places especially the blurred blob in the middle of the shot in the hedge, what caused that I don't know, maybe a big bee flew across the lens

Comments & critique much appreciated

Sorry for not commenting much recently on the great work you are all posting, been a bit busy get my head round the merchandise items, didn't realise how mind boggling it all is.

I like it, except for the OOF twig that appears to sprout from the eye we can't see.
There's a lovely clarity in the light here, just the job for showing off barnies.

I like this too Vince. It looks very natural. The soft light brings out the feather detail and i like the translucency of the tail. thoughtful.

Very nice. Had a pop at these in Norfolk and got.............. nowt Would have been very happy with something like this.
