When you are walking home after an all-day session and you suddenly hear and then spot an Owl but the sun has disappeared below the horizon 20 minutes ago and it's also been a dull day, what do you do? < Give it a shot of course! Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
It was handheld leaning on a rock at only 1/15s and ISO 3200 on Olympus E-M1X + ED 100-400mm + 1.4x. The image is uncropped but the Owl is distant and shot at max zoom (1120mm FF equivalent).
If you had shot this image would you keep it or bin it?

I have to say I am impressed with the Olympus performance and have decided to keep it but with the knowledge it's not one of my best Little Owl photos. Same location, different day and year :
