Image taken from my back garden hide, a dispute had been going on, squabbling over whose turn it was to get prime position on the feeding station.

Magnificent shot. Like the tilted pose with full up wings and blurred wing feathers.
I would crop on the left hand side and add more in front of tit.
Rest as usual superb.

Satish.

Jon, perhaps a bit of Fill-in flash may help here?

Yes it would have helped, also considering a reflector.

Steve Kaluski · Apr 14, 2016

Jon, not sure, but the reflector may also change the colour? With the light reflecting off the hay bale the colours looked warmer to me on the owl taking off?

Just a thought.

Still messing around with the XT600 :Whoa!:

Lovely BG and great look at the under wings. I wish the bird weren't flying away and in the center of the frame but overall a pleasing frame.

Lovely details showing well against that BG.

Nice capture Jon, well done.
