Owl Barn.

[Julian de'Courcy]

Barn owl.
I did not do this bird justice ( I doubt if that is at all possible)and was disappointed to a certain extent. Live and learn next time take my time. I got home with many shots not really that good at all.

.
Pretty much as it came from the camera.

What a beautiful owl!

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Emma an amazing creature. I came away in awe of the beauty.

Those second two are very nice Julian, especially the last. Very dignified.

By the way, these are really good shots!

These are really beautiful. I like the first one best but really all three are so good it's kind of pointless to choose. Barn owls are really fascinating animals. This is a really good book on barn owls:

A very nice set! Sharp and wonderfully exposed. A great look at an interesting creature.

The pose in #1 and the colors in the feathers make this one my favorite
