Jeff, this is a fantastic shot of this species. I might have given up a little bit of shutter speed to get more DOF for the left wing.

Beautiful shot Jeff! I think it could use a touch more USM.

Jeff,

I this is a nice shot, The intesity of the eye really grabs your attention. DOF has already been mentioned.

Thanks,

Very artistic pose. I like how the far wing shows up so much larger than the near one. Great timing.

Jeff,

Outstanding flight shot. I like the wing position and where you placed the owl in the frame.

Great shot, Jeff! I don't get to see these owls very often and specially at this range. Love the eye colour.
