Theme: Wet Barred Owl Head On Up Close

[Jim Neiger]

Osceola County, FL - 1D4, 300mmF2.8+1.4xTC, hand held from boat, 1/2000, F6.3, ISO 800, manual exposure, almost full frame, Barred Owl recording

I think this one fits the themes for both March and April. He must have been doing some fishing before I arrived because he was all wet. I had to put my lens on close focus to get this shot & I had to duck right after I took it.

Very intense and up close view. I think this fits this months theme perfectly.

Love the close up and right in the face shot of this one, sharpness and details are good too. Must not be easy in getting a shot like this but you done very well, TFS.

[Alan Murphy]

Nothing like a wet Owl coming at ya :-)

Great shot Jim.

[Tin Man Lee]

That's insane! Awesome shot, Jim!!! It must be really difficult to get the focus track that close and that fast. Amazing. I am glad you didn't get injured by owl attack

Very intense and up close view, may be tight vertical crop

Another sweet shot.

Very nice head on Jim. I like the wet look on the owl and the catchlight in his eyes make it interesting.

Great shot Jim! Love the "wet" owl look!
