Great Horned Owl at Twilight

[David Hemmings]

Got this photo near Joe Overstreet last year. Thanks to Jim Neiger for this opportunity:)

Canon 1D Mk 11 N / Canon 500 f4 IS / 1/1600th @ f5.6 ISO 400 / handheld / man exp

Nice mottled colors in the BG and good to get just a touch of motion blur in the wingtips to keep the image "alive."

As much as I like the bright yellow eyes in most owl images, I think this one is a bit too bright and would probably tone it down just a touch. A moment earlier in time would have been nice too.
