Very early morning , pre dawn shot ( Something like 0550 AM)

Nikon D2X
300mm F2.8
ISO 800 +0.7
1/80th @ F2.8
EV +0.3
Flash SB-800


I had gone chasing the centre owlet and when I finally saw the pic on the computer is when I realised there were four of them ! In any case I couldn't get any closer or change position to get a better view.

Since the frame was pretty cluttered, I applied some gaussian blur to the all but the four owlets. Sharpened only the owlets. Full frame image with Minimal NR in post processing. (Yes I need to work away the red eye)

Wonder what you all think of this one . Comments appreciated.

This is adorable! I would go back on the blur a little bit since it looks unnatural and darken the whole thing a bit more.
Way to go!

Wow.... four owls in one frame! I second Fabs' suggestions.
