Congratulations Rachel Hollander
White Faced Scops Owl
Taken in Kapama Reserve, South Africa while on a night drive (obviously ).

Canon 50D
100-400 @ 400mm
1/60
f5.6
ISO 1600
Canon 430ex flash used and ranger held the spot on the owl as well.
Handheld from a safari vehicle, no crop, stray small branch cloned from bottom, NR applied to BG.

I had tried a crop of some off the space above and to the right but the noise on the owl shows up much more.

C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks,

Rachel
