Great Horned Owl tonight

[coastalconn]

I really want to catch a flight shot of this guy. Many people may think I was slightly crazy going from the pretty sharp Tamron 200-500 to the old giant Tokina 300 F2.8 (who gives up 200mm of reach for birds?). These owls were one of my deciding factors.. I shot this at F3.2 1/320th ISO 400. With the Tamron I would have been at F7.1 and maybe 1/60th and probably had a blurry mess... comments welcome..

great shot, just wish that leaf wasn't in the front. a little distracting, but a great shot. Wish I could get some shots of an owl.
