Another awesome image, prefer the placement of frame than the one David posted.

great incoming pose with excellent sharpness and a nice BG

[christopher galeski]

nice capture,good BG,the bird is sharp with good detail,I know it is asking for a lot,but I wish the owl had made eye contact with you.

[David Salem]

Very nice Jim. Love the pose (similar to the one I last posted) and the BG is just killer with the open blue patch in the center. The detail and focus look great.
I have 4-5 pretty nice frames of this individual owl but she/he has a saggy right eye that dosnt get the same catch light and gives the impression that its not looking directly at you when it is. Not much we could do about that.
Great frame.

Pretty much perfect. Love the slightly angled bird, the killer BKGR, and the pano crop. Wide open eyes would have been nice. For those who have not tried this, it is very difficult.... Jim and I have a single opening on a Friday Lake Blue Cypress trip--that's this FRI, 4-11. E-mail for details.
