A couple of Snow Owls I photographed in the bird sanctuary , needed to work on the image because they were in a cage , took the wire fences out and tried to give it a bit of natural look....
Hope you like it even they are shot in a cage , but for us it's the only way to see birds that don't exist natural over here....
Image #2:
A griffon vulture , amazing bird with a big wing span, this one was flying free around , guess it was used to his captivity there and stayed....
Image #3:
Pelican swimming freely in the lake there , because they get lots of food they stay there and not take off........;-)

Wonderful images, Fvs! You do so well with birds and insects. And your post-processing left no vestiges of wire fences, something with which we in the film era would have had a real problem.
:thumbup: :-P

Stunning captures!! The download on the owls is superb, the eyes are outstanding.

The Vultures feathers fascinate me!

Love the Pelican and the wiggly reflection.

:D :D

great shots of the owls Fvs , i am not keen on captive birds ect , but in saying that i have had a change of heart on that due to a story of an extinct wallaby ( i posted yesterday )
which was rediscovered from a collection taken to newzealand in the 1850s
you did a great job of the fence
