Barred owl in flight

[EricD]

First Barred Owl flight shot for me...I was pretty stoked. Caught me off guard but still managed to snap one frame. I was happy with the shot considering it was sunset and a shutter speed of only 1/500 sec.

I like the setting sun catchlight in the bird's eye! Nice grab.

Well this was a hard challenge... sunset light, shutter speed at 1/500... I think you made a great job, getting a great shot!
The light movement of the wings is giving me a sense of a non static image. You can see from this shot that the Owl is really flying. Some pictures are very still with the movement that is very freezed, but I like your capture. Even because the colors are lightly hot and the give the shot something more!!
