Very nice composition, exposure and DOF WW

(ps, we have a bird section on here, you should maybe stick them in there )

Thank you for the name of the owl Moonstone. Mande, sorry about the bird section, I didn't notice that until after my post

Lol Claire, I know what you mean. I don't (or didn't) have much interest in our feathered friends, but after spending a couple of hours in this Falconry centre while on holiday I really feel like trying to find a local centre, as they can be really nice to photograph.

Owls don't waste one gram of energy either, so if they are resting they really do sit dead still, unlike some other birds who move during every shot

Glad you like them though.
All the best,
Alan.
