Barred Owl

I captured this image in Blue Cypress Lake, Florida with the Nikon D850 and the AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4E FL ED VR handheld from a boat.

ISO 500
f5.6
1/3200
Manual Mode
Processed on LR and PS. Neat image for background noise reduction
Cropped Approx. 25%


Looking forward to your comments and critiques, they will be greatly appreciated.

Like the look back pose the owl gave. The blue sky background is nice.

Lovely framing, great bird, and good details. I'd be tempted to lose the straggly out of focus bit of tree just to the right of his head.

Nice enough. You might wish to open up the left side of the bird's face as it is in a bit of shadow.

Hi Juan, nicely composed and a good look your way. Agree about lifting the shadowed side, i like this BG! TFS

Pretty shot in great habitat that nicely frames the bird. I like that we can see both eyes but wish we had more direct eye contact.
