Here is a wild Little Owl that I have been spending a lot of time with recently.
Taking quite late on in the day, so a fast lens and high ISO was required.
C&C welcome.

Wonderfully composed. The foot up and the expression in the eyes make this image to me.
Hi Austin,
I really like the layered BG and the black makes owl pop. Nice IQ.
Excellent view of his foot.
You got a lot of DOF considering you were at F 3.5
I wish the little leaf wasn't there.
Overall, a very nice shot!

Fabulous on-coming pose; love the raised foot. An unusual look at him for sure. Great stare. I love the gradation of the BG. IQ looks good for 2500 ISO. Nicely done.
Great head on view. Looks real fine for 2500 ISO. Love the foot up shot.
Cool shot. I really like the intense eyes and complimentary bg. Excellent low angle as well.
Truly inspiring photography, just in in the world does one get an Owl, or any bird for that matter to run or walk directly towards a camera ?
I love this!!!
I am loving these Owl shots! This one is very special...love the running pose and the determined look in his eyes. Great IQ for ISO. Not 100% sure I totally in love with the black portion of the background, but hey, I'd hang it on the wall if it were mine! Thanks for posting this very cool shot!

Hi all, Thanks for your comments and feedback, much appreciated.
I did run two rounds of noise reduction over the BKGR. There was noise in the blacks in particular on the RAW file.
Thanks again
Austin
nice image,love the BG,some nice detail,and different,getting this shot on the ground,nice and low.thanks.
Beautifully captured Austin.
Great dynamic pose and dramatic background.
Hi Austin, excellent head on capture, and the raised foot pointing towards you, and direct eye contact puts this over the top. Love the pose with the wings tucked in, looks like someone with their arms tucked behind their back.
Great head on marching pose, beautiful shot Austin.
Very nice pose and colours.
Superb capture, Austen.All has been said ! Does look as if arms are tucked behind body.
Ah, I was just thinking of calling you, then I see this! Good to see they are still around, mine have gone due to the Jackdaws
Love the low POV and eye contact, the raised/marching step is a real bonus. As everything looks so central might also crop accordingly to balance, WDYT?
Nice one, good to see you still have your 'MoJo' Austin.

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
That is one sweet BG, great IQ, pose and eye contact.
