    Default Owl hovering at dusk

    The light is going rapidly, this one comes close, knowing birds hold their heads very still on hover I risk a low shutter speed.

    Neat behavior image. The most important part, the head, looks pretty sharp.

    Very Nice Image. I like the image design.
    Head is sharp enough to make this work.

    Cool frame, love the colors, low SS worked well, just with it had glanced at you.

    Remarkably sharp for 1/100 sec. I love it with the head down. Bad luck on the position of the horizon line ... I'd lose the 3 or 4 sharp grasses on the lower frame-edge.

    Love this one. The blurred wings and the sharp body/head are great. Nice two toned background.
