Wonderful action shot! It looks like the owl is looking right at you and reaching it’s wing toward you.

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.

the image says it all, great instance and the face so clear. I like the fact that the wings are blurred. Instigates motion. great image.

I meant to compliment you. You are a true artist. Hard to believe that a camera was able to capture the Owl in flight.

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

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.

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!

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!
