Hi Monte --

 

This must have been a difficult photo to make - a night flight image. Frankly, I do not know how to set up a shot like this one. Hand held 500 mm lens with flash and Beamer! Wow!

 

Setting that aside, in my opinion, it is not up to the very high quality other work of yours I have seen here, mainly because of the distracting background. The owl appears to be impaled by the left support beam. Not much detail to see in the wings and body.

 

On the other hand, the face, and especially the eyes, are terrific (typical of your bird photos).

Hello Monte, Good timing and nice lighting also. Have a good day. 6/6a

Did you get dive-bombed by this owl, Sir Monte? Great timing. 6/6a. Well done, my friend. Have a great day. Regards, Lawrence.

 

Incredible capture, Monte ... Congratulations !!

Perfect capture!! (7/7 a.)

Perfect timing, Monte! Steady hands you have...exceptionally steady!

Great timing! Coming straight at you! Like the eyes! Best regards, Linh Dinh

One can imagine the difficulty of a shot like that. Very nice image. Regards. Jean-Marc

Nice shot Monte 6/6a

Tracking down an owl, handholding the 500m, photographing it coming straight at you at 1/60 and still getting a sharp & perfect focused shot...those are amazing things you did.

Monte...great 3d like image...I like the background...it helps to delineate the owl...Marjorie

Congratulations, its like being a fisher man that gets the catch at the end, I bike from work home every evening and recently saw an owl cross my path in a street light. To see him is one thing to get him on photo is another. Really well done. Regards Carl

It musta taken amazing patience to get this shot. Wonderful work

A marvellous night shot Monte.....very clever work...Regards
