We had the great fortune of spotting a few of the local birds of prey at a local state park. Hopefully we can go back soon when the weather's a bit more photo-friendly!

The Barn Owls is a great shot. At first I was thinking a very slight boost in brightness might help the image but the more I look at it I really like the mood of the shot as is. Do you have any more room around the owls? You clipped one of the toe's and I'm thinking it may be just a little tight at the top. Well done.

I was thinking the same thing, actually. Didn't really notice that I'd lost a bit of his toe at the time, no crop was used in post so I don't have any room to work with :/ I guess I'll have to go back soon!

Thanks for the comments everyone! You are very kind :)
