The Ginger Male! Pygmy Owl!

One of this past winter's tour to Costa Rica, we had a great experience with some beautiful Owls. A pair of male and female pygmy owls in mating mode.

This bird was perched at a fair distance, so we waited until the light was just right before we fired a few shots. The overcast light can really make a big difference.

Best wishes to you, and thanks for the nice comments and shares!

Like it or Hate it.

We all enjoy both concepts.

In the end, there is nothing better for me then my desire to Respect Wildlife. Leave wild animals and birds to live a natural life.

The fun in photography for me is the creative side., taking my equipment and working on a beautiful scene, trying to get the most from the opportunity.

Using manual focus, I was able to lock onto the tiger, and use the environment to help it look natural.

I hope you like it, but if you hate it, that is good too!

Best wishes for a good weekend!

One of my favourite shots from the recent tour to India, I did one extra adjustment in PhotoShop, adding a little shadow to darken the blacks
in the background.

Four Royal Bengal Tigers - Tiger tours to India are extremely safe, and so much fun. We stay in a very comfortable hotel, with more comfort and great service then one would expect. Our guides, drivers, hotel services are exceptional.

High local temperatures are surprisingly comfortable with very low humidity at 12 to 15%. The roads can be bumpy, and dusty, but the reward is superb! At least 2,000 images of tigers during our 15 safaris! So many to choose from, so I do plan to be posting a few over the next couple of weeks if I have time.

We leave for Costa Rica Thursday, so life is busy!

Safe travels everyone, more soon!

Thanks for looking!
