I'm sorry Roger I had to finally look at him, otherwise this would be a blank comment, or I could have nattered on about something inane for a few paragraphs. On the plus side he hasn't flown away yet.
A beautiful looking owl, Roger. Lovely colours and great post-photo work. I see a great sadness in his eye, he undoubtedly would rather be flying free than be caged for the rest of his life. Great work and thanks for sharing.
Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
