I was totally focused on getting shots of the Barn owl today ,a gamble on were to set up as I knew I would have to be there most of the day, however the Bird was successful at first light in finding prey so I didn't hold out much hope of seeing the bird for a while ,however when he did call out I got lucky as came in range for the 400mm 5.6 (for a change ) one of many from the day but one of my favourite's canon 1dmkiv 400mm 5.6 at 5.6 1/2500 sec iso 800 +1/3 ev
Nice light and flight position. Well composed. I've been guilty of overdoing Gaussian blur on occasion, but I think this is a case for a judicious use of it.
