AJ - great horned owl - spreads his wings again

When I had a closer look at some of my pics from the flying display, which I had initially 'discarded', I found I could retrieve a few more.

I've learnt so much already by posting every day for a week in the back to basics challenge. I'm going to continue through Sept but not every day - just a bit too confined for me. Well done, Dad, for all the great photos you took in this manner!

A wonderful level gaze and powerful wings on A.J. Nice focus! I agree about the SOOC challenge... kind of restricting, but it teaches you so much.
