Barn Owl, Incoming (C)
Taken at the Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson last February. This was part of a Raptor Free-flight demonstration. Light was not favorable, and shooting conditions difficult (see next pane) but the birds were great.

The narrow paths of the museum grounds were packed with people on a lovely but very sunny Sunday afternoon in February. It was difficult to get a spot to place a tripod and long lens, or to have any control over sun angle. This was my first visit, and next time I'll pick a different day, get there earlier, and have a better idea where to stand.
I'll title this "Hey, I'm talking to YOU." I have no idea what the person on the left was looking at. I hope she doesn't mind being inadvertently captured as I focused on the incoming owl.
Edit: I had second thoughts about posting a recognizable image of someone without their permission, so I've altered the image. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Having looked at the OP for awhile, I've decided it seems to have a bluish cast. Here's a repost with a Warming Filter at 25%. Let me know which you like better.
The repost looks nicer for sure, Bill. If they were mine I would also try to clone out the people of the second frame as the shot is nice otherwise, might even be better than the one you posted.
Thanks Karl. I'll give it a try.
Good idea, Karl. Here's the bird from pane 2 with the BG from pane 1, cropped to pano. That was easier than trying to clone out the people.
