Backlit Juvenile

[dennis greenwood]

One from one if this years Juveniles
I have spent every oportunity this last week (when i get a cloudless night) to attempt some backlit shots ,i have had to move my prefered spot to a location were i can get as dark a background as possible ,i was happy with the long grass adding a bit of something to the image and to be honest if i was not i would not have hit the shutter button.
Shot taken aproximately 15 mins before the sun dipped .
Canon 500mm f4 at f4 iso 800 1/320 sec +1 ev

A great addition to your Little owl portfolio, Love the backlight and the soft BG the wide open eyes make this pop

He is so cute Dennis - well caught. I also like the grasses in the background, the footpath sign in this case I feels adds interest as opposed to subtracting.

[William Dickson]

Well done Dennis. I really like the expression on the face and the eyes. I would have left The F in the frame. Nice one.
