Shot few days ago. Light was getting really low so I played with flash and Better Beamer. It really helped brings out the colors and details while lowering ISO.
D2Hs, 200-500mm f/5.6
1/25, ISO-800, f/5.6, handheld, VR-ON @500mm flash + Better Beamer -3.0 flash compensation, just a slight light fill.

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

Nice use of the flash Ludo. Looks very natural. I would suggest removing the light reflection (from the flash) in the eye however. It indicates the the light was coming from below the bird which is inconsistent with the overall image.

Nicely done, Ludo - it definitely does enhance the owl detail and autumn colours behind.
