Incredible! I love all the owl captures lately. Great series matthewo.

thanks all, I was lucky to photograph this owl, and it gave me a decent amount of time. otherwise un eventful, but my first up-close photography opportunity with a barred owl

You are my hero! These are fantastic and I know how hard barred owl's are to shoot. Just stunning. A crab huh? Times must be tough, I can't imagine that would be high up on an owls list.. Love them all but 2 and 6 are over the top. My only thought is on #5 I would try to darken the red eye a little. Did you use a beamer or just onboard flash?

thanks, that means a lot coming from you. I love your work.

yeah better beamer, but it still gives that red eye sometimes even with the high flash bracket, I agree, I didn't work on it enough, should have pulled it down a bit

If I did it right, #6 is nominated for POTM!

These are amazing. the light in the swamp did not harm at all. Very well done.

looks good to me, you might want to put a link to this thread in your post, but I don't know if that's a requirement, I just did that in the past.

 

[matthewo]

cool, thanks guys

Wow, these are amazing, especially #6!

I have yet to even FIND an owl in the time I've been doing bird photography. I know they're out there, but they hate me.
