While creeping around in the woods like a Sasquatch with a D90, a large owl swooped near. I slowly stalked him right into a nearby tree and dry fired a manual focus 3000 ISO for instant perfection. If I took this shot 1000 more times it would have missed/focused, as you can see his left wing is raising and he took flight a millisecondlater. Why was I in the woods in the middle of the night in full DSLR mode? It's just the digital life baby, please don't call the authorities...

PETA would call this harassment / torture.
Nice shot. Got the hi-res? That thing has freaky looking eyes. Can you ID the specific species?

I dont know what type of owl it was although it was massive, and I actually heard it swoop down. The original is here on Flickr
