[font=Helvetica]We are down to 2 owls. Mommy and young male. Shot bellow taken this morning. Wide open shot from very close range (no crop),,,zoomed out to 390mm. Owl didn’t care about my presence at all. [/font]
Background was too green and distracting so I toned it down.

[font=Helvetica]D2Hs, 200-500mm f/5.6[/font]
[font=Helvetica]1/30, ISO-800, f/5.6 handheld, VR-ON @390mm.[/font]

A great portrait, Ludo. Beautiful pose and excellent detail. Super eyes! My favorite of this series thus far.

Isn't it wonderful when wildlife learns that some humans can be trusted. Lovely portrait, Ludo!
