Nice image of a lovely creature Len. You did very well not to blow those beautiful white feathers. Well done

The image has been well cropped quite a dull day. the owl was sat motionless up in the top corner of the flight.

With the available light this an excellent image out of the cam Len. If any improvements could be made then it would be the usual fine tuning in photoshop. The exposure is really good, as the ladies have said you did well not to lose any detail.
Well done buddy.
The crop is a good one.
If you have photoshop then i would be tempted to muste the vibrancy of the green a little and maybe and add a tiny bit more oomph to the bird. This is not doable (made up word!) straight out of the cam so you really have done a fine job mate.
