    Default Least Pygmy-Owl

    The Least Pygmy-Owl is one of the smallest owls in the world, at just about 14cm tall. They inhabit the Atlantic Rainforest, where this one was photographed.



    Nikon D200
    Nikkor 600mm f/4 AF-S
    Vivitar 285-HV (my SB-800 was broken)

    1/250 @ f/11
    ISO 125 - on tripod
    Flash on manual, probably to 1/2 power.

    Great use of flash! I would only suggest to decenter the bird a bit, but other than that, I like it, niece pose, great BG colors, detail, exposure and textures. Congratulations!

    Ditto Ramon. Adding on his comments I would desaturate the sky in the BG, and run some NR on it too.

    Looking forward to more.

    A very good picture and as pointed by Ramon, a nice use of flash.

    I have to agree with Ramon in all counts. Love the feet.

    Owwww. So cute and so fluffy ( I mean beautiful ). This owl is surely from a good breed as it is multi colored and also has yellow shaded feet
