I was out yesterday with a friend getting pictures. She spottted this guy for me, so of course I had to give it a try. My first ever owl shot. Used my 70-300mm lens and did crop this image. I would have liked to have better quality but I think this is as good as its going to get. It's been such a long time since I have seen one. I was so darn excited! Hope you enjoy my owl posting. . Phil (gonedigital) and jerryp. both think this is a barred owl. Thanks guys! sandi ♪ ♫ ♪

I like your shot of him Sandi. I like how you have him positioned in the tree. You did a good job with it. Nice frame, too.

Good image considering shooting long distance and cropping.
Most of my Great Egret shots are done in the same manner and you start to lose quality in your shot. But not here.
Very Nice.

Very nice picture Sandi, the owl looks great. I want to get a stronger telephoto lens to take better shots of birds, but I can't go and get everything I want. Great Job

Very impressive for your first Owl photo. I think the quality is fine, wish I could get these in the woods instead of a bird sanctuary. I need to get out more. Congrats on this fine photo.

Wonderful job, Sandi! He sure looks like a winter owl in his whites and grays and you did a really nice job of framing him too.

Life is the pits sometimes, but God and your friends are always there to help you through it.
A great photo indeed, hard to get a shot like this, but you have nailed it here.

Great Tigz. He's either winking at your or sleeping with one eye open. I'd say he was winking. lol This is really good and don't worry about the cows. They're allergic to owl droppings. Should do good. Hope I get to vote on it. Have a good Sunday and WHO said you couldn't get an owl photo.

I think it came out very well. And, you can see by him watching you, that he gives a hoot if you approach any closer!

Whata hoot! Very nice...you could have cropped it tight. Try one on the side and take a look.

Nice one Sandi. :o)
Any wild bird is worth shooting especially an Owl. I imagine you were limited by the lens magnification hey, this one looks like a Tawny Owl but I don't what it is ?

"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
I think that the quality is fine Sandi. He's wonderful, and I'm loving this composition of greys and light. This frame is perfect for it. :)

I could only imagine how you felt when your friend pointed out the owl to you, The clarity is fine considering how far you probably were.

I am envious Sandi...this is a great shot of this Owl. I am not sure what kind of Owl it is...looks like a Great Grey Owl but has too much white in it...maybe an immature Great Grey...but she/he is beautiful!!...gerry

I just looked this Owl up in a book I have on Raptors Sandi...I am pretty sure this is a Barred Owl...gerry
