Hi Joe,

A photo absolutely superb, excellent approach to the opening just to achieve the beautifully blurred background. Great ISO 800 which enables high speed shutter. The bird was photographed in a unique angle, a large contact with the eyes of the bird. Magnificent colors. Thank you for sharing this sample of his talent.

Regards,

Jesús

Hi Joe!
Its great to see you back on TN again,and with an amazing shot too!
You must have been really quick to capture this.
It is absolutely tack sharp as well!

Things are looking up for me at the moment.
We manage to re-finance the house,pay off our immediate debts,and buy a few things we needed .... like a new Canon Powershot SX10 IS
At first I had real difficulty using it,but I'm just beginning to get the hang of it,so expect to see some improvement in my work soon.
I'll also get that Andris Apse book in the post for you this week .... promise :)
Cheers
Steve

Hi, dear friend.
Joe – "I hope you like it".
We like your pictures always. And I am very glad that you came back. There are many your friends.

Shared shot is simply amazing. Pictured moment is breathtaking. POV is fantastic as well as exposure parameters, frozen pose of the bird, sharpness of its details and unbelievable smoothness of the BG. Bravo. My warm greetings and TFS.

Hello Joe,
Nice to see you back and I hope your exams went OK.
A great shot: I am impressed with the sharpness of your Sigma 300 at f2.8 to capture this Eagle Owl in flight with great timing against a superb BG. It would be nice to see how it performs with a 2x TC.
Thanks and all the best with the rest of your exams.
Cheers,
Ivan

Hello Joe,
I had a premonition that you would be back one of these days and it turned out to be real. Welcome back! We were missing you badly here on TN. Bob in particular was in sheer despair.
With your return, normalcy too has returned to this site :).
Your pictures are exceptional in their appeal -- both technical and aesthetic. This Owl in flight captured at 1/4000 is sheer magic.
I will now turn to your next fresh pictures.

Everything drawn with a masterly exposure. In the right place at the right time to make and I will say it. Really great timing and a masterpiece. Moreover, the target image is focused sharply on the owl very impressive sight. TFS.
