This one is cropped a bit on both sides. Took it at 1/250, 8.0, 550mm, ISO 500, with the D700 and 200-400+1/4TC, and probably -10F below. I was usually able to get pretty close to the owls. I don't bait or use audio, just sit in my car for hours waiting.
Worked with the background a bit (blurred with vignetting) and tried to get this one not as flat.
Thanks for comments
