I cheated

Raymond J Barlow · May 1, 2005

These were taken at Manila Zoo, and please let me know if you consider these unfair in comparision to Canoncan's wonderful natural owl pictures, But I couldn't resist the opprotunity. The string in the birdmans hand was swinging around 360 degrees with some raw chicken meat attached. The awesome beauty of these creatures brought me back to the zoo for 3 seperate shoots!!

Taking a picture of an owl in captivity is not cheating. The shot is just awesome, I would faom at the mouth for that Kind of shot. Well done and welcome home.

Thank you all for your very kind words, much appreciated., I feel like I am cheating, because I see such amazing photos from Canoncan and others, of truly wild creatures.. in their natural habitat. I see your pics as much more admirable, and I comend you for you amazing patience and skill.

I don't want to hog up the forum, so I will wait a few days before I drop some more pics in here.

Thanks again folks!
