very nice shot. I like how the bark is peeling back and how he is grabbing onto only that part of it rather than the whole branch. Makes it look like he is pulling it off.

Vesa,

One of the best photos I've seen of one of my fantasy birds ...

An adorable owl in a great little pose. Like Michael I like the way the back is peeling back!

Monique, I am packed and ready to go, I may not look like much but I am well behaved and can grow on you like a fungus, with no cure for it!!!

Great image! Looks like I need to start putting the 2x on the 70-200 more often. It does work fine!
