A wonderful evening when I luckily caught this barn owl hunting.

This was almost 'out of the' camera shot, levels only adjusted.

What a terrific shot. Great drama in getting the dive so close to the ground... I love this shot.

Excellent capture! The owl could have been a bit more sharp and less exposed. I had to look closely to identify the bird.

First off, great capture! The seperation of the owl from the backgroud (to me) looks like a little too much post proccesing (gausian blur)and the light on the bird doesn't follow the rest of the image :(

Hard to get these wildlife shots. Good attempt, but you need to prefocus your spot a bit better. Maybe even put it on burst mode if you have that on your camera, which would take several consecutive shots together. Might have gotten a better face of the owl.
