    Magnificent flight shot, Frank.
    Nice lights, beautiful wing spread with fanned tail and HA. Super colors on owl as well as in wonderful BG.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    What a great shot.
    The BG is stunning and love the wingspread. Doesn't get much nicer than this.
    Well done,
    Gail

    Great topside view and that eye really makes this one special

    BG works very nicely with the subject and I like the bits of grass at the bottom

    Hi Frank, excellent banking pose showing off the full wingspread, and I do like the the colours and detail of the Owl. That layered BG is a killer.

    what a beauty! Love the pose and the superb colorful BG. Any reason why you didn't shoot at higher SS? The 1DX sure can handle ISO-800 without any issue. Loi

    Wonderful image, Frank. Great dorsal view, BG, and like the intensity in that eye.
