    Neat little owl. Nice view of him tucked into that tree. Also like the framing.

    This is very nice Jon...The detail and sculpture on the tree is really good. Lovely look at the owl with good detail. Good POV. Love the single talon showing. Well captured. I would be more than happy with this capture. Good work.

    Hi Jon, nice one, now I see what the new kit can deliver, looks like you are certainly getting to grips with LR and coupling it with PSCC. You don't say if this is cropped or not, but if it is and you have the content, then I might drop the whole frame down a bit, with less above & more below for the owl to look into, so to speak.

    PS You just made me look back at the files again today...

    Beautiful bird, wonderful setting. You nailed it. A strong resemblance to the Florida Burrowing Owl. Thank you for sharing, Jon.

    What a cutie. Love the way he's perched just on the inside edge with the one talon showing.

    Great setting, I love all the surrounding tree. Interesting techs, but they've worked out OK here!

    Mike the image stabilisation on this camera (and lenses) really is something else!
