This is another image of one of the adult owls. This was the only day they hunted from the sunny side of the road. This owl flew down to catch a crawdad and flew to the shady side of the road to eat it. The parents had been feeding the owlettes all morning and I believe the adult needed a break.
Nice exposure, IQ and wing position. It's just a shame that he has just passed by you, some milliseconds sooner would be nicer. Nonetheless it's a very nice picture!
In a perfect world, the wings would be either more raised or lowered - either would work for me. I'd have to suggest lowering the saturation of the greens in the BG as well, a little too distracting for my taste.
However, all that said, I still like the shot, the wing position is what it is, and still provides a really nice flight shot
Great job on a not so easy capture. Love how the owl pops against that green BG. I might be tempted to tone down the BG just a tad b/c I feel it is a bit overpowering, and I don't like to see the spotlight taken away from your owl.
You are killing me with your owl series.
I do not think the owl is past you at all.
Good IQ and nice and sharp.
I have to admit this is not my favorite wing position but I do like the spread wing tips.
Agree that desaturating the greens in the BG is a good idea,

Great flight shot of the barred owl. I like how the background is nicely differentiated from the bird by color, but still is in focus enough to give the bird some context.
