Low Flying

Superb shot

Excellent shot..wow!

What a brilliant shot. Love it. Great work.

escellent capture , i think this is a european eagle owl yes, i have some great footage of these in a wildlife programme as they say they are gowing in numbers in the uk , where did you capture this one ?

This is ONE of the most fantastic shots I have had honor of seeing, I enjoy and will put it in my favorites. I really love it. Thanks for presenting to me viewing.

Now this is amazing, the detail is fantastic, very well done.

Fantastic capture!

Stunning capture, love it! so focused

I have yet to actually see an owl in the wild let alone capture such an amazing shot!! Wonderful!!

What a great shot!! Very unusual to get this creature in the day and flying!! LOVE IT!

An amazing action shot, superb work!

I just realized this looks like a scene from a Harry Potter movie..LOL

many thanks!!!. a quick update for anyone interested – this is a cape eagle owl and this photo was taken in the drakensberg, south africa. sadly the cape eagle owl is on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. they stand 48-58cm tall and weigh 900-1800g. absolutely beautiful birds.
to give you an idea of how close he was this shot was taken with a 17-40mm lens handheld. cheers

This is a great capture

This might also look great in BW with just his red eyes in color.

Love owls and this is a very unique shot.

I got to feed a few of them there about two years ago. They’re huge.

Trev.

My husband and I were in a nature park once…heard a ruckus from a flock of crows and went to investigate. The next thing I know this low flying Great Horned Owl swooped down out of the trees and was heading right for me. At eye level with me….big beautiful yellow eyes starring me straight in the eye. I just stood there mesmerized…camera in hand and couldn’t take the shot. For a moment there I thought it was going to smack into my head…then at the last minute it just cleared me. The entire encounter only took a few seconds, but I was dancing on cloud 9 for a week :)

awesome shot…there is a new group called Only Owls…check it out :-)

Well.. that’s brilliant.

I’ve seen owl in nature only once. In the night. Seemed like slow motion with muted sound.
Great capture!

What a great shot you must be proud of this one!

Good lord, took me forever to get to the bottom of this thread! Just HAD TO SAY…this is one of the most incredible photos I have ever seen! If you actually took it with that lens on your camera…that’s really amazing because it truly looks like YOU were flying at about a thousand feet to get this fantastic capture! I hate hearing about endangered species – breaks my heart – but it’s photos like this and the awareness that results from them, which could very possibly help this beautiful creature! BRAVO!

fantastic shot!

Amazing capture!
