Owl

Out walking to catch the last rays of sunshine. Waned to see how my new 50mm lens rendered
colors and landscape. On my way home I looked to my left since the setting sun was just hitting some tree tops. Had time for only one shot before it took off. Not bad for a manual focus lens. How lucky am I!

[Linda]

Yes, I guess you were lucky - really nice capture. Nice colors and focus.
