The water behind the owl gave the picture some extra color.

Hello Alexander,
great job!! Very nice!
Where do you take this picture?

[Ed Prete]

This image is stunning.

You must have been very close to where it was to be able to get such a capture with the 300 and 2X.

[Gayle Clement]

Wow! I love the eye and the flight pose. Very beautiful!

[Kaushik Balakumar]

lovely image with good lighting even in the underparts of the wings.
what i also liked is the fact that the background is not totally blurred - hence showing the habitat, at the same time not distracting from the subject.


rgds,

Peter, you shoot know that a Olympus camera has a crop factor of two times. So a 300 mm X 2 times crop X two times the converter is 1200mm.So its not that extraordinary I guess.

Great flight shot! Like the light and the comp.

[Dean Ingwersen]

Beautiful in every respect

[Jody Melanson]

This is outstanding! Love the light and pose. I feel it is a little tight on the right and would also crop some off the bottom if it were mine.

[Kirk Benson]

Absolutely beautiful image in every way. Subject is isolated perfectly against a very pleasing background. Superb work, very well done.
