Short-eared Owl on the Hunt

Hi All, I’ve been absent for awhile—getting back to making some more images and hopefully posting more.
This is a Short-eared Owl on the hunt in Washington State.

Bonnie, great light and I like the ready to pounce pose.

I love the action in this image!

Excellent image and one I wish was mine.

Terrific, Bonnie,
Love the habitat and the pose of a hard to get Owl...

This is great Bonnie, I love the habitat, exposure and light. If mine I'd crop it a tad tighter

well done

Excellent action pose with nice inclusion of habitat!

Looks like it has a slight green cast. Try adding a touch of magenta and see what you think.

Fully action packed, superb image. Very nice pose, habitat and composition.

Satish.

Killer pose and light, Bonnie. Colors look good on my monitor. This crop works for me b/c you are leaving space for the owl to pounce into. Would love the opportunity to see one of these owls one day. Happy New Year!

Lovely image Bonnie. Fantastic pose and well captured. Thanks for sharing

Hi Bonnie, nice to see a post from you!! Great subject and hunting behaviour. Very nice light. I love the comp as is.

Wonderful hunting action captured, Bonnie, with beautiful light and nice habitat. I like it just as posted and wish it were mine.

I like the composition, setting, diving pose and IQ. Excellent image Bonnie.

Great pose, nice and sharp, lovely light and BG to set off the bird, Well framed, really captures the expectant moment just before a kill.

Beautiful! Love the light and pose!

perfect timing. It would have been more fabulous if this was captured in horizontal frame instead of vertical in my personal opinion.
