Not the most easiest of perches for this Barn owl. :D

The juxtaposition makes a marvelous image and the rust color on the wings plays off the structure. Detail on the owl looks great against the dark background and the crud on the structure provides even more character to a shot that is already filled with interest. I'm surprised the barny stayed long enough for you to get the shot but looking at its eyes I almost think it perches here routinely and is surveying for prey. This is a wonderful shot, Steve, and I wouldn't mess with anything. It's not just wildlife......eh??!!:)

Fabulous image Steve. It looks perfect in every way to my eye. What is the owl perched on?

Steve, I love this image. I couldn't explain why, but it just seems to have so much character.
An atypical image that is very engaging.
I think it could use a tiny bit of CW rotation.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
Cheers Danny.
It was taken at a church, he/she is on a ledge Andrew. He/she had been quatering (hunting) for some time, grab a few before flying off hence the techs, camera resting on a wall ledge under a shady tree.

Sorry Sidharth, missed your reply whilst answering Danny & Andrews reply.
I know what you mean re CW rotation, as the horizontal is running slightly up, but I worked on the down pipe in the background being vertical, guess it was a 50/50 call. :D
cheers

Steve, really liked the IQ and the f/4 dof effect. Terrific exposure too. Nice one.
Hi Steve , the detail, exposure and colour on this owl is awesome. Danny has said the rest.
Thanks guys really appreciate the feedback and taking the time to comment, good or bad. :)

Just wanted to add my note of appreciation for this image. It is compelling and interesting.
Sharp, well exposed. I think the decision to favor the vertical over the horizontal when deciding about leveling was correct. The vertical catches my eye more than the horizontal, and I think it would bother me more to have the vertical out of plumb, than the slight slant of the horizontal.
Cheers

Great "Birds in an Urban Environment" image!
