Hello Els,
Beautifully captured bird. I tried making some shots of the owl during my recent trip to a zoo, but non turn out as good at this. And I did have trouble to have trying to have capture the best look on its eyes, equipped with only the kit lens, shifting from an auto mode to the P mode and etc (I'm still in the experimental process, you see)After a few failed attempts, I went shooting other pictures.
Nevertheless, this is a wonderful shot and I love the very sharp details of the feathers. Great portrait of the owl. Love it.

Best regards,
Sharina

Hello Els,
This is a great portrait of the owl!
Excellent details in the plumage and a fine pose, and that stare is very strong...
A well composed presentation, a small small minus we can see some of the sky!
Greetings,

Goede Morgen Els.
Very good capture of the Owl, pity one hair is crossing his eye, but that shows how sharp this picture was taken.
Good job, Elly.
ps. Ik heb een paar fotos met een eagle op mijn arm, niks geen ketting aan hem.
Ik zal hem even 'aanmaken' en zet hem op jouw workshop.
By jou kijken ze meer dan bij mij, toch ? haha
Groeten van Jan

Hiya Els

Hello Els,

This is a fine shot of the owl!
The most captivating part is the amber eye which is so large and with an interesting reflection! Then the eyes move to the beak - a formidable tool! The details, both colour and texture, of the plummage are excellent.

I think your crop, just focussing on the head was a good choice. And, you have framed it perfectly.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Els,
Wow What a handsome specimen you have here. Brilliant details and sharpness to this nocturnal hunter. I would not want to be a mouse caught in the range of those intense eyes. Beautiful nature shot.

Heerlijk messcherp, Els... en wat een kleuren. Je camera/lens combinatie doet het uitstekend, dus mijn complimenten!
Het oog heeft een sterke impact, wat ik zou veranderen is: een beetje wegsnijden vanboven, om de lichte vlek linksboven te vermijden...
Het haar (?) voor het oog is ietwat jammer, maar het wegclonen zou een werkje van langen duur kunnen zijn. En echt storend is het tenslotte niet.

Wat een prachtige vogel... en wat issie scherp zeg!!! je ziet de haar die over z'n oog zit!
Die hoort er natuurlijk niet, maar hij zit er wel en je ziet 'm goed.... prima toestel zou ik zo zeggen! hahahah
Ja, die witte "lucht" is inderdaad wat schel en vraagt nogal wat aandacht...
Misschien had je daar wat bomen in kunnen plakken... mits natuurlijk in de juiste mate ge"blurred".... als je begrijpt wat ik bedoel....

Maar, het is en blijft een pareltje hoor!

hi Els

You are really close here for this portrait shot, with good sharp focus and fine details of the head and shoulder. One of my favorite birds and such a beauty. I see you have a new equipment of Sony A350

Great capture in the daytime of a nocturnal creature. Wonderful view of the eyes and such a clear image overall.
It may be that the "bad weather" helped here by holding down the harsh sunlight and, instead, giving a gentle glow to this shot.
Whatever the case, very nice work.
TFS,
Wilt

Hi Els, This is a beautiful close up of this large predator bird. Our budgie looks rather gentle compared to this beak! The clarity and details visible are excellent. TFS. Murray.
