Focus hit feet and breast. Not bad. Better wings out flying pose would be nice.

Hi Jon, might go a tad pano, loosing a little off the top? What needs to be sharp is sharp, but agee on a better wing position.

How is the BO doing, any signs of the LO too>?

Hi Jon ... again for me it works quite well , For sure one can wish for a better wing position or other things .... but hey I would be more than happy to have this kind of shot in my archive.
As a personal taste I would have edited the image slightly different , in terms of exposure , WB and selective color . But leave it to you how to portray the scene .
I am with Steve about the focus ....

Nice one and keep going

Thanks for the feedback, regards wing position, I have them fully open but we have seen them before and they look a little repetitive - I am trying to portray the bird coming in, catching the on going action.
Going for Barn owl depending on weather and wind conditions now more likely Monday Tuesday, haven't seen Little owl for a week.

Another neat flight frame. Love this series. Keep them coming.
