This one needs a few disclaimers.  Maneuvering an 800mm lens and hefty
tripod through a dense patch of woods is no picnic, especially when the
subject is doing its best to keep a significant screen of branches between
itself and the hairy two-legged creature.  Technically...  let's just say I
won't be manking any big prints of this photo.

Without further ado, my Long-eared Owl photo:

Hardware, etc: Leicaflex SL2, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt, 1.4x APO-Extender-R, Provia
400F film.  Exposure was probably 1/15 sec with mirror pre-release.
