Biggest Barred Owl I've seen yet. Had to do a lot of Post Processing on this one to make him Visible. They like to perch in Very Shaded Areas during the day. The leaves you see marked or pocked in the background are caused by bugs .Have A Great Day ! E J

I can see it just fine, now, EJ. Good editing job. I have not seen a real owl in years. Very nice shot, again.

He really looks put out with your shenanigans. You must be interfering with his nap. Beautiful feather detail.

Why do you have to "put your two cents in"... but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

What a beauty EJ, and he looks totally unconcerned that you're there. That plumage looks soooo soft in this picture, and the gentle colours are lovely.

Always great to see a wild bird Froggy
There's good clarity here, and I like the sheltered lighting too I imagine it was a lot darker originally . . . Well done EJAdaptiveLightingMan
