Happy Mother's Day!

[Marina Scarr]

I just loved the sweetness and simplicity of this moment with the owls napping. The other owlet was hidden underneath the mother. I felt lucky to have witnessed and captured this moment.

Very tender moment. Backlit I assume?

[Marina Scarr]

Backlit I assume?

Yes, Troy, this was backlit. I can't remember my flash settings but I just added it to my exif above. I spent a lot of time experimenting between ETTL high speed sync and manual flash on this particular day.

Hi Marina, a tender moment indeed, and I like the colours on the owl. Good use of flash - looks subtle.

This is so sweet and tender.
Love how she is leaning against the tree with her ear pushed forward by the tree.
IQ is great as well and I love the red in the tree,
