I got up early in the hope of getting a Barny and this one gave me lots of shot's :)
it was hunting over a Rapeseed crop

PDS. Pretty darned stunning. I like the placement of the owl in the frame, the sweet light and BKGR, and the pose. Though some might not like the blurred wingtips, I do.

HI Robert,

Very nice. I like the BG and wings. I don't mind the blur but I wish for a better eye contact. With that said, I think you did a fantastic job.

Thank you for sharing!

Wow insane image, I like everything about it, the wing tips are fine and I dont even mind the looking down pose since it is hunting!

Great work,

Robert

Everything about this says Wonderful image... As outlined above... Framing/comp... Beautiful BG... Sweet light. The fact that he's looking down isn't a problem for me at all as he's hunting.

Very nicely done Robert!

I actually prefer slightly blurred wings to completely frozen ones so this is A-OK with me! Tremendous image, and the feet poking behind really add a nice element.

Love this a lot. Looks like a photo of an owl over-layed on an impressionist painting...the bg is killer as is the owl. Blurred wingtips work well here.

Great find and setting. I also wish for a bit more eye contact. If you want higher shutter speed, you can easily go to ISO 400 since the noise is negligible.

Incredible work!! The background is unbelievable, pose and placement in the frame of subject are both killer. Love it!

[Fabs Forns]

Fantastic flight, with great background, very much like a painting!
