my first barn owl perch shot

well my luck is still strong i cant beleive the images im getting in 2008 and this is another first.
although ive had them flying ive never been able to get close for a post shot . it was still some distance away so probably cropped it to deaf but im still happy .

insert is f/f and notice the angle of the perch so the cropped sorted that out.

very nice

Nice Shot Jason, Looks like some harsh side light you did well!!! Good Field skills increases your "Luck"

Well done Jason & the back lighting is very nice too.

Nice catch Jason. I reckon if you resize the crop up a bit with photoshop to interpolate the pixels it'll still give a nice 8x10" print.

like to see the original, background textures may make it a nice photo even with the main subject quite small.

Great catch Jason. These are getting rare here.

Super catch Jason, great shot.

That is beautiful

Nice! I love pictures of owls.

Considering the direction of the light and latge crop, I think this came out verynicely. I know I would be hppy with it.

It came out great. I love the shot.

Congratulations Jason. This is one owl species that I'd love to see.

thanks every appreciate the comments.

lighting on this was a pain as the sun was so milky and there was a bit of mist left over from yet another foggy day.

i think if i play around with the crop to see if i can get it any sharper.

cheers

Very nice shot of a beautiful bird, I think the backlighting adds a nice mood to the image...
