Barn owl (Tyto alba)
Canon 1DX Canon 500mm f4 L IS II + 1.4TC III
Auto ISO 2000, 1/2000 sec, f5.6
ACR & PSCC
Well it's been a couple of years since I have pointed my camera at a Barn Owl or Short Eared Owl, but I managed both yesterday. Image taken late afternoon light probably 40 min before dusk. Its a big crop so the quality I want is not there but I have been incentivised to go back whenever there is some light.
I like the backlit wings. You might want to clean up the light splotches in the sky ...
with love, artie

Hi Jon, I like the light showing through the wings, with a good flight pose too. Great that he is against the OOF foliage BG, and agree to clean up the sky.
I love the light coming through the wings, barnies are one of the best birds for this type of light in my opinion. There is a bit more noise reduction that could be done in the green areas.
Is this up in Neston Jon?

Nice how the owl glows in that light. Small in the frame works pretty good here.
