Shot today early morning. It was a dark overcast so I decided to shoot with D4 since it can handle low light really nice and I am glad I did. This fledgling , it seems a male since other siblings are much bigger is very friendly just like last year offspring where fledgling females were extremely shy. But adults it is opposite ,where mommy is really friendly and daddy extremely shy, go figure

.

D4, 200-500mm f/5.6
1/60, ISO-2200, f/5.6, handheld, VR-ON @500mm

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

Great capture Ludo.The darker blurred background is perfect for the subject.

Love the dark green background and the way it sets off the owl, Ludo.

overcast is the best no highlights to burn, I like those popping eyes, well done.
