The fading light and high ISO help to make a good atmosphere, and I do like the perch - very apt for the species.

Owlways a pleasure to see these even in 2D, John. :biggrin: Not so sure about the OOF thingy to the left. :confused:

Agree with David T on the blue OOF object to the left of the LOWL, it pulls the eye. Possibly reduce its saturation or go for a portrait format? Great detail on the owl, dropping the 70-300 didn't seem to harm it.

Lowl at home in the farm yard, spot on Lowl and perch although the BG is just a little intrusive in particular the blue trailer and the wood slatting :wink:

Thanks all. Yes the blue thingy is a tractor mower top . As most of the shots are from a hide with multi viewpoints its is a case of good for one shot-bad for another. I,ll see if I can take it out.
(Too big to push out the way !!! :biggrin: :biggrin: )

Delightful, John - the second version is even better - love the owl and his stare, and the old farm stuff.
