    That is great looking owl Harshad, I love how it blends with BG.
    Very nice. I would probably center the bird bit more to the right,
    and sharpened selectively bit more. I think you could try to warm up
    the image more too, that might be good too. I love these owls you are
    presenting lately. How do you find them in the field?

    Lovely image Bhai, nice eye contact, sure needs a round of sharpening, would have love more space at the bottom for the virtual tail and more.

    I have seen these guys, and their camouflage is excellent. It shows it off very well in this image, and love the lazy eyes. Well captured Harshad.

    And here I was thinking this Owl had some sort of GPS tracking device on it :D
    Great camouflage.
    Repost is a definite improvement.

    With all due respect, handholding the 600 at 1/200 sec. makes no sense to me
