A Great Horned Owl in the wild. These guys are very difficult to get close to. This was taken in a Wildlife area in South Dakota. I drove in and got out of my vehicle only to see the owl take flight. It was raining so it was easy to move around quietly. I had given up and was walking out when the wise old man landed on this pirch. He gave me two frames and he was off. Only whish he had not been back lit.
Hey thanks Shawn.. Yea, I have played with the lighting too. However, when you tweak it too much it really prints poorly. It's not one of my favorite shots. Getting a great horned owl in your veiwfinder dosen't happen every day. And that's why I posted it. Technicaly it is not the best.
