Ancora un grande lavoro, Jim. Hai saputo cogliere l'attimo. E la successiva rielaborazione rende questo scatto un capolavoro. Foto non facile e ancora una volta perfettamente riuscita. Veramente bravo

Thank you Jim, You've got it in a rare natural light setup and it looks great. The one and only claw in this picture foretells what the sort of night is ahead ! :D

You've seen this owl and its sibling (May 23rd) when it was younger and smaller. I took this the evening before it fledged the nest.

No Flash, Ali. I shot this at sunset just as a shaft of light came through the branches. I had been watching these owls for two months. I deliberately underexposed it, then I selectively increased the highlights in Lightroom and boosted the contrast overall. Thanks to you and Christine for your kind comments.

One of the best I have seen. The colour, the expression on the owl's face...everything...perfect. Could I please "borrow" the owl for one of my slide shows? :)
