Mama is Red
~second nest of this season. This is going be a tough pair to shoot as she did not poke her head out until after sunset. At 7.54pm, this image was captured. Her color is a lot more red than the previous pair. Applied vignetting blur and darkened the outer part of the nest.
5D Mark III, 1/320, f/6.3, ISO1600, filled flash, 400mm 5.6L

This is different. She looks quite mad with you. Good detail and flash work.

Thank you Jack. I am not sure. This is a new nest near a busy street with cars driving by, people around. I find that they often have that look when they are concentrating on something. Again, I am not an expert.

The details look good, and its different than usual look.
I am not sure what she feels of you flashing her nest.

I did not think she cares at all. At one point she was looking towards the Male's direction where he has been calling.

Artistically I like the effect you gave to your image with the blurred vignetting. The central comp works very well here. Awesome to able to find a second nesting pair of these guys...

Well done with the vignetting effect idea. There goes Arash's theory that you cant use flash on owls.
I would consider eliminating the second catchlight in each eye.

Mike, I have read up on the use of flash on owls. I only took a few shots as the sun was already set. The female was in the nest with the babies the whole 4 hours that I waited. The male was around calling, at one point she was looking at him high up in the tree. After a few shots, I left to leave them be.
