    The right wing coming forward is really dramatic. Bet you were close to the bird. What focal length is it. must not be very long to produce such an effect.

  28. JMac-2006 Says:

    That is just simply awesome. Love to see more camera details how you captured this

  29. Eagle Eye Eagle Eye Says:

    What a remarkable catch. The positioning of the shot leaves the audience feeling the movement of flight, and there is a sense of mystery in the eyes. Outstanding job!!! You need to submit that to as many contests as possible.

  30. Herman Says:

    What a great action shot – extreme action! And I love the perfect way you captured the face, at just the right moment. Love the eyes.

  34. Lakshmi Prabhala Lakshmi Prabhala Says:

    I love the mid-air capture, a fixed gaze in your direction and the position of the wings. Almost feels like he is going to come right at you! Great capture. Congratulations!

  35. Cris Says:

    Beautiful shot!

  36. Katherine Lee Strassburg Says:

    You’ve captured the owl’s two best features–great big eyes and wings so soft on the edges that they blur into the air and allow it to fly in silence. Amazing shot!

  37. Michael Anderson Michael Anderson Says:

    Absolutely STUNNING image!

  38. Sue Gagnon Says:
