Hoodwinked!! Spotted owl

[Shyamala Kumar]

Earlier during the year when we took a trip to Kanha this little denizen was sitting in its cubby hole in a tree at the very entrance as if counting the vehicle as they entered the gate.D3200 300MM 1/370S F/5.6 ISO400.

Nice hallow in the tree trunk. Liked the way it has winked its eyes due to the sunlight :). Seems the AF point is locked on the tree bark so the owl is slightly out of focused. Thanks for sharing.

The composition is fine. Slightly more space at the top would have ensured that the entire tree bole is captured. Our mind mostly wants to see the circle completed.

The exposure is an issue as well as the sharpness. You can check the article about exposure http://www.indiawilds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2006
