Frank The Owl Man - Revisted

I shot Frank back in December 2014, but I was unable to get Kim (his owl) because there were too many people crowding around him

I met Frank today in the same location (Nottingham's Market Square), just a few step from where I met him in 2014. It was the Lord Mayors parade today and FRank had come to watch the ceremonies.

The square was bathed in harsh sunlight, so it was difficult shooting conditions.

However, I went for the shot and her is Frank revisited.

Shot with my Sony Alpha 6000 and edited in Darktable.

Here is Frann back in December 2014

The owl is so beautiful and you were lucky to get him. Frank must be an interesting man too!

[Phil Howcroft]

@maggiemae Maggie , Frank just walks around Nottingham with his owl !!! How cool is that :)

[Netkonnexion]

Great image. They both seem to have lots of character.

[Cathy Donohoue]

Wow. What a great portrait - of both of them.

[Hazel]

Fav. I think this is a great portrait taken in difficult conditions of sunlight. Both Frank and Kim seem to have an interesting slightly quizzical look. I'm watching your settings on the a6000 with interest, Phil.

[Dione Giorgio]

He looks changed from the previous picture, Phil. Older I suppose. A beautiful portrait shot of him (as always) Love that Barn Owl.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Judith Greenwood]

Fabulous - that previous photo is one of my favourites Phil!

[Ivan]

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments on Frank and Kim. Very much appreciated . I will catch up with commenting tomorrow as it is late now . Thanks again :)

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

I think it must be fun to happen upon a subject again after all that time. Bet you were pleased to 'capture' Frank's owl this time too.
Like the angle you've used in this, Phil.

[Phil Howcroft]

@dulciknit thanks alison , yes it was good to get a picture of the owl this time, I think Frank often turns up in the market square when an event is taking place

[Granagringa]

The more I look at your portraits the more impressed I am with the poses and the more curious on what you advising your subjects to do.

I see I left a message when this shot appeared originally and also left a fav!
