Another owl taken at our church fete last month. Cropped and processed in CS4.

Beautiful!

Love the bokeh of the lens. Very nice composition and good colors too, with excellent details captured in the feathers...Frame it and sell it :)

Cheers!

very cool..:)

Peter, very nice capture--quite sharp and the eyes are riveting. I assume that this was taken with the 70-200 F4L IS? Do you know what kind of owl this is?

Hi Joe,

It was actually taken with th 50mm F1.8 :o. I cant remember which type of owl this was, there were about 5 different ons on display, aftaid I was concentrating on getting a full frontal view.

Great shot!

Very nice indeed. It looks almost painted. is the background around the head artificially blurred? It looks as if it needs a some feathering to blur the edges. But as I say the owl is nicely captured.
