In the spot light: Great Grey Owl.
The owl showed well in the late afternoon winter sunlight, especially when it happened to look in my direction with those big eyes. The spot light effect captured the owl's form and feather detail nicely as well as making the overall image quite pleasing, despite the pesky wire fence. *
*Due to human encroachment, we often find the owls hunt along roadsides or perch on fence posts rather than the more photogenic (moss-lichen covered) branches.
Taken on: 2018 Archives; Nikon 300mm f4D+1.4X; 1/800; f7.1; ISO600.
There are many places to find the middle grey tone in the scene. I metered the grey tone and underexposed it by 2/3EV.
Thank you all very much for the visits and comments.
