Zooming in

[Art Kornienko]

50D, 300 F4L IS, ISO 400, F7.1, 1/200 hand held. This crop may not work for many, I didn't have a lot of options.

Very nice. I really like the impact of the owl looking right at me with bright yellow eyes. The cut off wings make the shot in my opinion. I love that composition. The diagonal of the bird's right wing leads me right to those wonderful eyes. Great work. Wish I had these owls in my area...

I like the crop, details, eye contact and head position. The lightened eye looks good, too.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Wonderful eye contact and I too like the crop. Would love to have such an opportunity Art. Many thanks for sharing.

Hi Art!

Is the color of the left eye original or retouched? From the sun angle, I would have expected this eye to be darker but I may be wrong...
