I like the effect, the almost evil look on the face, and that the feet also came out nicely sharp given the shutter speed. I was at Harnes Marsh trying for these today, and had little luck, so ironic timing. :c3:

Love the fact that the head and eye are sharp. I think that is what makes this one fine image.:5

Lovely image. Colours and light look great.

I had been out this morning in low light trying some blurs on SE'd Owls at 1/15 to 1/30 and did not look good so thanks for posting.

Wing position is also spot on.
