Here are an owl form Finland:



Canon 50D, 390mm@100-400L, 1/250, f10, ISO 400.

Crop wise, it is too centered. It is a tad dark. Keep them coming.

I should have crop it better. What it comes to darkness, it was a cloudy day and there was not any kind of sun shine available. Photo is showing pretty well available lighting situation that was there then.

Thanks for your comment.

Good shot under difficult conditions -- you might try a vertical crop

I love the facial expression and I think the eye, feather, and tail details are really nice for the lighting conditions. Would like to know what the techs were, if you have them.
I agree that a vertical crop might be nice.

Thanks for posting. Enjoyed seeing this owl.

Hi,

I just checked the original photo and notice that it is not cropped at all. So it would propably come too tight for vertical crop.

Specs are: Canon 50D, 390mm@100-400L, 1/250, f10, ISO 400.

Thanks for the techs.
Notice that you were really close:)
If mine, I would probably just crop closer on the sides since full frame, putting the owl a little off center - but that is personal preference. It might put a little more emphasis on the owl. Again, really like the facial expression.
