Barred owl low light flight

[arash_hazeghi]

I made this image back in spring in Florida with Jim and Doug. Jim was hosting us and he used his call technique to attract the owl. The light was low so we took what we could. Normally I only shoot 3200 with the 5D if the light is so low but here I took my chances. Hope you like it :S3:

Arash,
You have done great work in 3200 Iso, Like the high key look & sharpness of this image.

You did great job handling the noise and the chromatic aberration which is a big problem with images like this. It should be hard to reveal the details at the underparts of the left wing without much noise at ISO 3200! The wing position adds a lot to the image plus the usual top quality sharpness of your flight images. Thanks for sharing this.

The noise has been handled nicely. I like the wings-forward pose! That was a fun afternoon.

The wings are great and it is placed well in the frame.
It appears a tad noisier than your normal shots, but in no way does it look
like iso3200.
Nice PP work.

I like it very much! It has an 'artistic' feel to it...:w3

Arash, well done, lovely wing position, sharp as always and looks good for 3200 ISO. TFS
