Shot this morning, fresh of the CF card :-)
Me and friend of mine stumble upon this SE owl taking a nap. It was sleeping, eyes mostly closed so I had to wait for sometime for the owl open the eyes for a brief moment and went back to sleep.We both get some good shots and then slowly and quietly slipped away let the owl take a nap.
1D4, EF300mm f/2.8L USM NON-IS + 2.0X TC II (600mm f/5.6)
1/200, ISO-1600, f/7.1 on tripod...I closed the aperture 3/4 stop to f/7.1 to get more sharpness with 2.0X TC.

Please click on the image for a larger uncompressed view, thank you

Cute little guy- I appreciate your respectful approach to getting a shot. I like the environment too-nice natural surrounds.

Ludo, what a sweet, sleepy pose, and a treat to see its nice, cozy bedroom scenery :), good to hear he was able to continue his nap - delightful story and image.
