Hello Doug !
What a wonderful picture ! You have perfectly frozen the barn Owl, in a wonderful pose ! Excellent details, nice natural colors, wonderful composition and POV, beautiful BG. I also like the golden light on the owl. You are very lucky to see this bird, I have never seen any but I keep searching... Anyways, very well done !

Hi Doug.
Tremendous in-flight picture with impressive POV and composition of the image. Amazing pose of the bird and its wingspread. Sunlight illuminates the bird very attractively. Warm colours of the shot are wonderful as well as the nice neutral smooth BG. Bravo.

Hallo Doug
Sjoe I really like this one. Sjoe is WOW in Afrikaans. A fine capture of the Barn Owl in flight. This owl has a very huge wingspan, but oh so impressive. I like the way the light shines on the one side of the bird, keeping the other side dark. I wish I could take photos like this. Absolutely great Perfect moment and perfect pose. Very pleasing to the eye. Sjoe once again.Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

What a fantastic capture and marvellous composition! How much I should like to see one of these in the wild.
I see you have posted a lot of wonderful pictures the last weeks and I am marvelled for them. I should like to have time and comment all them but patience will be needed.
Thank you very much for these marvells of yours, dear Doug.
My best regards
Maite
