So I reckon I should post a image and participate once in a while.

Barred Owl coming out of a dense oak canopy recently.

MKIII, 1/1000, f/6.3, ISO 800. 400mm, HH, called.

nice wing position and great BG. head looks a bit soft though.

[Doug Brown]

Like the eye contact and wing position, but agree that the head looks a little soft.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Oh boo... I must agree with the soft head as well but a very cool shot. I also like the dark bg

Thanks Arash, Doug and Cheryl. I mucked up the quick reprocessing job to post here. The original is so much better.
