This barred owl is a Wing of Hope success story. This fella and one just like him were released at dusk, and I was there to snap this shot of him as he looked back one last time before disappearing into the sunset.

| excellent shot...but I'm not sure about the shallow DOF...wouldn't this be Deep DOF? As your subject is far from you...just asking... |

| great use of centered compo, like the toning and plumage tints matches well with foliage. |
