I was set up for something else yesterday morning when this young lowl appeared by the side of my 4x4. I barely had time to go to portrait and get the focus for this full frame image before it was off :biggrin: I quite like the oof look as it makes the eye stand out nicely :wink:

pipe lagging on 4x4 window

The IS was turned off. In fact I have stopped using it all together :wink:

A great image :toast: Good composition and the focus on the eye draws the viewer in. Top work.

It looks too young to fly?! Sometimes you just have to get what you can while the opportunity's there.
