Great Horned Owl II

[Bill Dix]

Here's another frame of the GHOW at the Raptor Free-flight show. This time he sat on a different perch allowing me to get the whole bird in this FF shot.

D7000, 500f4, ISO 2000, 1/2000s @ f/7.1 manual.

Wow what a great looking owl! I like the open beak, HA, the pose with that one claw raised and the detail. Nice BG too.

Amazing camo patterns on this owl. I am sure it becomes close to invisible when in the trees. Good pose showing off one of the talons and open beak. I slight bit of more head-turn would have made this one perfect

Great detail and a very nice smooth BG.. Well done!

[Robert Kimbrell]

Excellent frame Bill, Nice view of the feet and nicely raised foot. Getting that close gave you a very attractive background, The head turn is good, but wish for just a little more.
