About This tawny owl was just wondering whether to take off?

So am I!

I think I need a little break from the daily round of Usefilm as I'm fast running out of decent images, as well as the time to keep up with all my 'friends' and 'associates' work?

So if I'm gone for a day? a week? a month?don't worry!! I'll be back ~ as soon as I've rediscovered the zest for contributing to this great site.

See ya in a while!

Best regards to all,

Chris

Very nice picture. The only thing that could improve it even more is if the second wing was fully in picture too. Also, I think the focus is not really on the eyes. But it is still a very nice picture. Colors are very good!

Hi Chris,

Love the diagonal composition on this one.

This is a busy time of year also, sometimes really difficult to keep up. I've had to cut my time down a bit, but will hang in there as I hope you do as well!!

Just make sure you don't disappear for good, just take a brief break!!!
Have a GR8 day!
Lori :)

Fabulous capture Chris, I agree with you it is certainly a full time job keeping up with Usefilm - I don't knock it, but when the friends list is over a few hundred it does take time lol

Enjoy yourself Chris and hope to see you again soon. All the very best to both you and Carole for Christmas and the New Year if I don't see you
before then.

Best wishes,
Steve

Outstanding shot of the owl, Chris. Is he trained like a falcon? Don't take too long off!, Larry

I'll miss you, Chris, most faithful of commenters, and most consistent creator of beautiful images... more beautiful even than God made the original scenes in some cases! (That's genuinely meant as praise, in case it sounds like sarcasm!)

Take care Chris and enjoy your time off. We will miss you. I have just done the same thing.
It helps. Sure is a beautiful Owl. See you soon. Don.

Hi Chris, excellent as usual. I do know what you mean when you speak about having a rest, I've been taking a little time about things recently, just uploading one or two a week instead of the multiple images per day.

Have a good rest and come back soon. Remember winter evening photography can be just as rewarding if a little cold ;-)

Evening Mr S!
I understand the need to take a break from UF - I know that you will enjoy it and will be back when you feel refreshed and ready for the fast pace again!
Here's wishing you and your loved ones a Blessed Christmas and the very best for 2005
Regards
Mrs C :-)

What a wonderful shot to leave us with Chris. Hope it won't be for long. However long it is, hope you and your family have a great Christmas and that 2005 will be a better year for you, Hope you are in less pain and getting over your bout of fibromyalgia. This must be a very hectic time for you, I know I am struggling to keep up with comments and haven't even had chance to look at the latest pics I have taken, yet alone upload anything. If I crack on with some chores today maybe I can spare some time later.
Margaret

Superb image Chris. Margaret & I were watching short eared owls in the wild Saturday afternoon but light wasn't good so no pics. But we know where they are for a while.
Have a relaxing break and come back soon - we're all gonna miss you.

Chris . I know the feeling. It really does take time especially when you are as thorough as yourself with the comments. We will have some snow soon and no doubt your finger will itch once again. Good luck. come back soon.
