Description
This big old barn sits way out in the country and someone has put small white wooden crosses in the little windows of each peak. For some reason I found it quite spooky then I spotted an owl's tiny black silhouette from the opposite side of the barn. At first I thought it was one of those plastic ones until it moved. I normally don't take wildlife pictures because I don't have a good lens but lucky for me he wasn't afraid and sat there blinking at me with his big yellow eyes as if to say "Whooo do you think you are!!!" As you can see in the picture, he likes using one of the crosses to roost on. Smaller format only. (All Rights Reserved)

Theresa, you mention you don't have a good (i.e., telephoto) lens for wildlife. However, as long as the subject is sharp (and you did a great job focusing sharply on the owl), you can always crop the image to bring the subject in closer. I love this composition, but would like to see it with the owl brought in a bit and some of the barn in the lower right cropped out. Just a thought. But I love the shot: great subject, great angle, and black & white was the way to go. v/f

Thanks, Geoff. I tried to crop it just enough and still have a decent size. ;-)
