Owl

[cjt2011]

Hi Guys due to my laziness to label the photos I take straight away I dont know what breed this owl is but I took it when I was on a trip to the Isle Of Wight to a falconry centre there. Unfortunately as you can see i was quite near the post but not the right side of it. :shrug:

Taken in June 2009
Comments I have done some work on PS cropped etc.

Don't think a shot from behind is all that great an idea, Carl and perhaps the use of a wider aperture to render the background clutter more out of focus.
Pity the bird was not facing the camera because it looks pretty sharp.

I agree with pretty much everything Dougie has said, the bird looks tac sharp so its a pity it was facing away from you and there's plenty of detail in the bird. As said you also need a larger aperture to render the background out of focus thereby making the bird the sole focal point in the image.

....I dont know what breed this owl is ....

It's an owl not a chicken, so presumably you meant to say "species" not "breed"?!
