I was fortunate to find this barn owl hunting well after dawn. Unfortunately the cloudy sky resulted in a high key image. None the less I was happy with this and several other flight shots.

Beautiful inflight capture - lovely soft colours - high key is a plus.
Nice work.

I would be very happy to call this mine. Excellent high key image. The banking pose and eye contact
are simply superb.

Gorgeous image and I would be so happy to have taken this shot. As a young lad growing up in England these owls were a common site, sad to say not any more.

Quite nice as is. Little detail : love the nails at the end of tail.
