Barn Owl

[John Hawkins]

I photographed this at the Lowry Zoo in Tampa, FL. I lost the metadata,but I know it was taken with a Sony Mavica95. I shot it without the legs because an attendant was holding the feet with a gloved hand. Thanks for looking.

These are lovely birds! I like the way he stands out against the background. I think I would be tempted to crop a bit tighter under the circumstances. I am not at all sure but looks like there might be a hot spot on the head...

I also see a bit of hot pixels in the forehead. Good looking bird, I'd crop soe of the left for a stronger composition.

Keep them coming!

i concur with the others. A little toasty on top. I'd crop it much tighter........draw more attention to such a great bird. Well done.

John,

That is Norman, the resident Barn Owl at Lowry. He is a cutie for sure. And did you know he is almost 20 years old? Amazing since Barn Owls only live to be around 5 in the wild. Great shot of a beautiful owl.
