Short eared owl

[Jonathan Ashton]

Tripod Canon 7D Canon 500mm F4 L IS ISO 400 1/1600 sec f5.6
I tried to get better quality images without the 1.4TC and then this shot came along .. and I wish I had used the TC!! Scraping the barrel a little bit but I liked the pose, your commenst and views however critical will be welcome.

I like the hunting pose, fanned tail and setting. I could see this cropped as a vertical as well. Nice image Jonathan.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Excellent pose, lovely techs and nice habitat.
This one screams vertical to me, Jon.

[Jonathan Ashton]

I did do a vertical but preferred this one; it didn't involve so much cropping.

[Frank Schauf]

Great light and flight pose.

[Arthur Morris]

Killer, killer pose. Love it as a H. SH and EXP right on. Way to go!

Hi Jon, excellent timing to have captured this pose, really dont think its scraping the barrel at all bud. Once again, great to see the surrounding enviroment.

Now go out and get one with a catch in his beak.
