Short Eared Owl

[Carl Day]

Hi All,

Bit quiet at the moment so just having a look through some of my older photo's. Here's one of a Short Eared Owl from back in February, hope you like it.



Canon 7D and Canon 500mm F4 IS + 1.4 - 1/1600 ISO 800 F5.6


Cheers,

Carl.

excellent flight pose and a nice BG. I would crop tighter to show the details better and move the owl to the right , owl is a bit small and too centered in the frame as presented

Lovely looking shot and very typical of these owls. Really like the nice colors and inclusion of habitat.

Good ideas by Arash. About half the top dark layer and leaving about the same amount on right would do it for me.

Great pose and light, good habitat. I agree a tighter crop, if the IQ holds up, would be super.

Crazy light and bg - looks like he's emerging from fire.
Excellent pose and head on view. +1 to de-centering him.
Piercing stare!
