Fluidr / "The Take Off!" by Stephen J Stephen

Here is another image of a Northern Hawk Owl launching from its perch on a dead tree top. This composite was created in Photoshop using consecutive images from its launch from the tree top.

In frame 2 the bird had raised its wings up and would have obscured the first frame had I included it.

I am very happy with how this sequence turned out despite it being a very large crop.

Original sequential images were created on Dec 23, 2019, west of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
