Saw-whet Owl

[Raymond Barlow]

Grimsby, Ontario, Canada

D300 / 200-400 VR
1/8s f/8.0 at 200.0mm iso250

Tripod, natural light, almost full frame.

Taken last winter ... I sure hope this bird comes back for a visit. The one branch on our left of the bird bugs me a little, but not enough to be bothered cloning it out, and the dark area lower right is a sparrow nest I believe.

I like this a lot and the habitat adds to it. I like the pose, soft light and details. If anything, maybe a bit less contrast.

Sweet owl Ray. Terrific details and the light looks like rendered in 3D. I like a lot the pine nedles wraping the bird. Very nice job ;-)
