Cracking stuff Ian. Love the composition of th first one. Could it benefit from a little lightening on the face and torso? I reckon that may lift it to stunning...

well done
all the best

Thanks Paul, yeah been looking at lightening it a bit more and getting shot of the 2 bits of grass at the bottom as well, Pic 1 isnt cropped at all :)
 
#2 for me Ian, Great crop great pose (y)
 
very nicely done.
Rob.
 
Cracking set Ian, prefer no 2 and the re-edit of no 1 works much better.
 
I really like those 2 images the edit is a improvement though (y) im glad to see you are still getting out and about. On the Donna Nook weekend me and John Starkey were lucky to see 2 barn owls trouble was the light had gone anyway keep up the good work
Regards
Richard

I fear you may be right. The only hope I have is after talking to a birder who said that after a number of shorties have hunted an area "clear", they dont come back for a few years and wait for the prey population to recover. Here's hoping :thinking:
