He looks quite relaxed there sat in the sun...was talking to a chappie who is heavily involved in the conservation of Barn Owls the other day, and he reckons he'd be surprised to see them still in the wild in UK after about 20 years...that would be a sad thing to happen.

Lovely shot Paul, the barn owl is becoming quite rare I believe. Did you capture this in the wild? Good use of fill-in flash you seem to use this on a lot of your shots. This is something I must use more often. Well done.

Paul, owls are usually funny; this is not an exception.

Excellent photo. I like the contrast and the composition. Very nice details.

I added your picture to a theme of mine.

Sentinel on guard. Not very common picture - owl on blue BG in bright sunlight. Great pose, I'm not surprised that people in Middle Ages connected these owls with ghosts. Looks very ethereal. Superb post Paul!

Hi Paul

Aren't these great looking birds. You have nailed this guy good. He is looking right at you. Good clarity, tack sharp and excellent light. The blue sky as the BG is wonderful. Nice work. Thanks.

Hi Paul. This is perfectly exposed against the bright sky and a lovely composition. It's very sharp and detailed too, I like the downy fluff. I didn't know Barn Owls were around much in day but they were out a lot on Springwatch too. Wish I had a shot of one like this. Beautiful capture :)

Hi Paul, this young man his very beautiful. The POV is very good, it gives a nice play between light and shadow on his body with a very nice blue sky in background.
Well done

Very nice Paul, This has a great blue sky BG, great exposure, sharpness and details. I like the POV and the diagonal roof edge "Barney" is perched on. Very well done.
