    I like a lot this picture, not for the technical quality, but for the action. Is one of one of the most powerful display I have witness.

    I'm guessing this is the female adult, Raul, because I've heard (really) that she has a cataract, and that's what we see in this shot.

    I've seen both parents and the baby this year but haven't been able to get a clear shot yet. Nice job on catching the action.

    You're lucky to get anything useable from the owls at Loxahatchee this year. They are is such a tough spot.

    Hey Raul,
    Glad to see you here!!! You described this image to me when we met. Great job managing the clutter and lighting!! The feel of power and motion while getting the face in focus is great!!!

    Sort of makes you glad we don't have to catch our meals doesn't it?

    Way cool but at the risk of stating the obvious, the image is mis-framed; you needed to point the lens up more.
