Owl

[ashish]

This owl was constantly being threatened by another flock of birds; one of which can be seen in the picture. The owl had to finally give up its perch and flee.

C&C welcome.

Great shot...and that poor thing!!!

Ashish, an excellent capture with interesting narrative. I know that the owl is incapable of a real 'human' expression, but it does look thoroughly fed up!

I think it would have much more impact it you cropped it to remove the area under the branch which takes the eye away from the two birds and the essential drama of the shot. I also think think that the bottom area of sky makes the birds and the overall image look darker than it actually is.

Nice capture, I agree with James about the crop.

Nice capture and yes the cropping would be a powerful plus in the composition of your subject .

Nice owl but a pity about the background distractions. Not really a lot that could have been done differently though. Possibly cropping closer would reduce the amount of background problems.

Another square crop candidate for you Ashish, then a subtle vignette....just like the your other post in The Circle...will give the scene here prominence. Gosh! that little birdie looks irritating. I really like the expression of the owl here...Shut 'er up! Shut 'er up!!! thought the owl...

Gorgeous image. I would just crop a wee bit off of the left side and at the bottom just above the 1st blurred branch.

Very nice image.
I would also agree that cropping the bottom a bit would give a more powerful image
Lovely looking Owl.

That's a great capture Ashish but I agree with the suggested crop - maybe even to a landscape format.

Great image...but the poor owl don't look very happy.....
