The problem with photographing in early morning is that your subject may not be in prime light. On the other hand if your subject is a Great Gray Owl then just be thankful you even saw it let alone take some shots while he's in a hunting mode. It's quite a thrill to see this magnificent raptor.
Beautiful bird and images. You nailed the focus on those eyes.

That's what I was thinking. It would have been easy for the camera to focus on the trees in the background in number two. Just out of curiosity, what camera, lens, and focus mode where you using?

You did a terrific job of capturing all three images. They are crisp and well composed. In fact, I wish I had taken them...the would be hanging on my wall! Very very nice work.
Thanks for the kind words but the light was as a challenge and made image IQ less than what I had hoped for. So no prints from this set.

I'm usually in Manual mode and the cameras used were Canon 6D and 7D. The lenses were a 70-300 'L' and a 400MM 'L' lens. Hope that helps.
