    Here is another of my SEO images taken recently.

    This one was kind enough to hover allowing me some extra time to lock on the focus.

    Canon 1DMK4, 800mm, f5.6, 1/800, ISO800

    More images from this Short Eared Owl session can be found HERE

    C&C welcome.

    Cheers

    Great photo Austin. The intensity of the Owl is captured perfectly. I like how the long grass in the foreground makes it look almost 3D.

    Hi Austin,

    Great capture. Just enough movement in the wings, works really well.

    Cheers
    Carl.

    Austin, loved the image design. the grass at the bottom of the frame is the best part of this image IMO. I like the blur in the wings as it conveys that the bird is hovering and not diving.

    I love this! It also look nicely cropped a little closer to the bird on the right side and cropped to a similar distance on the left. Sort of a tall panorama effect. But I don't think it's better. Just different. Great shot!

    Thanks for you comments and feedback. Much appreciated.

    I agree that the inclusion of the foliage at the bottom is essential for this picture to work.

    Thanks again

    Stunning habitat/behaviour shot! Maybe some more room on the right.

    I love the over all action but find detail in the owl somewhat lacking.
