    Default sunset with the Owl

    When the forecast is for a cloudless sunny evening,one cant resist just sitting out and watching the owl come in to his territory and sitting on one of his natural favoured posts ,as i dont leave the area untill the owl disperses i can spend a least a hour watching and waiting for the bird to leave ,but does he like to soak up the last rays of sun...canon 1dmkiv 500mm f4 at f8 iso 800 1/500sec Name:  Little-owl-at-sunset-bpn-(1-of-1).jpg

    Hi Dennis,
    I can see why spending time with this little guy would be hard to resist. Very nice light and I like the straight on pose. Pleasing BG too. Nice image.

    Nice one Den. To be honest I,m not too keen on the perch, but then its what they sit on ! Love the light on this and it shows the way these birds use their eyebrows in bright light.

    Love the light. Beautiful BG.
    I would crop up from the bottom to reduce the amount of perch.
    I also think this could use a levels adjustment. Owl seems a bit washed out.
    Otherwise looks good,

    Not the perfect perch but altogether a very pleasing image with great light and BG.
