This time from an upper position, since I was after a picture I only could get from there.

Pity in this one the bird was to close to the trees, I tried to desaturate the trees since the green was too bright. Pity I couldn't get the brownish colors in the bird.

#1


The same bird with better background.

Hope you like them...

One word WOW. These are excellent, crystal clear perfect focus, love number two with the catch light in the eyes and also love the owl (which are my favourites) top notch Irma.

Fantastic Irma. The 4th one is the best to my eyes.

Thanks so much for your comments...

Ivan, This barn owl is very light in color if you comapre them with the other birds, I always have my pictures blown out. This time it was luck, next time I will work with my EV when I see it coming, maybe then I will get them better.

Chris... That was also to me the picture of the day..

Great shots Irma

Have to echo my approval for #4 - but #6 is also a dandy!
