I just loved the sweetness and simplicity of this moment with the owls napping. The other owlet was hidden underneath the mother. I felt lucky to have witnessed and captured this moment.

F11, 1/250sec, ISO 800, manual mode
Flash - but don't remember settings

Yes, Troy, this was backlit. I can't remember my flash settings but I just added it to my exif above. I spent a lot of time experimenting between ETTL high speed sync and manual flash on this particular day.

This is so sweet and tender.
Love how she is leaning against the tree with her ear pushed forward by the tree.
IQ is great as well and I love the red in the tree,
