A wonderful shot of a feather perfect bird. Clarity and focus is perfect with the reflection in the eyes bringing the shot to life, i feel i could reach in and touch Him, the darkened back ground adds to emphasise the beautiful plumage. Many thanks for entering the image.

what a stunning image. The clarity in the eyes is superb and gives the image life. I love the Depth of field with the main focal point being the eyes and the beak showing out of focus, the camera and lens combination is exactly what i shoot with on a regular basis. The detail in the feather is beautiful, she's a pretty lady and her colouring sublime. An image to be proud of.

A wonderful shot! I spend a lot of time sitting in fields and hedgerows hidden under my hide capturing Barn Owls, this shot is as natural as it gets, the location, lighting and birds posture all caught and timed perfectly, he's a beauty and in perfect feather, a shot to be proud of. I had a good feeling about this image when i first viewed it and knew then it was my winner.

Brief

See more contest details

In this contest I am looking forward to seeing your colour photos of barn owls. The barn owls can be in flight or perched, with prey or without, but only images of barn owls please. Only photos in colour, no black and white.

A truly stunning Shot. The lighting is just sublime and captured beautifully, the clarity and detail in the feather is pin sharp, focus is dead on. She's spotted something and is locked on, the moment has been caught to perfection,. Wonderful, its a joy to look at, Thank you

I adore this shot. So natural, the depth of field is superb, the main focus and detail in the Barn Owl is wonderful and the angle of the shot perfect. It makes me think you stood there for a while watching and waiting for for him to peek out with him wondering if you had gone yet so he had to check. Thanks for sharing it.
