Like that you got to a low angle for this. Composition is good; like the environmental elements in the shot. Well done.
Very well done. Love the soft light and colors. Please confirm that you focused manually. Moving to your left a yard if possible would have improved this (all else being equal). Anybody know why?

Because of the little tree behind and to the right of the owl.Originally Posted by Arthur Morris
I like it as composed......besides....moving to the left may have led to some of the tall blades of grass being right in front of the bird.
Yes, moving left, if possible, would have given some separation between the bird and the tree and placed the bird in front of the nice red stuff.

That's why I wrote, ...(all else being equal)."
Even if the grassses might have been in the way my question gave folks a chance to exercise their brains...

Hi Art,
Yes, this was manually focused (used Live View). I was hoping to work my way in for a closer view and better angle but the owl was a little less tolerant that day.
Steve what a beautiful shot
I think this is a great shot as is very nice low angle
Very nice, Steve. Great colors. You hike with a lot of gear!!
