Shot today late afternoon. In this shot I would like to show the pads of the owl's foot. Pretty nasty talons and I am sure they are razor sharp.
1D4, SIGMA 150-600mm DG OS HSM f/5-6.3 (SPORT)
1/200, ISO-1600, f/6.3 @ 600mm, handheld.

Please click on the image for uncompressed view, thank you.

Love that pose.  It looks like its 'thumbing its nose' at you!  :D 

Beautiful detail of the foot and talons!

Now that's some pose. love it. He is taking a chance scratching his nose with those talons and no wonder he keeps his eyes shut :).

All the best.

Great shot of that foot! Owl behind gives some really nice context as well.
