They do indeed appear to be sharing a joke and probably an off-color one at that given one is whispering to the other, lol...wonderful capture and lighting.

Perhaps the one owl is whispering nice thoughts in the others ear or it could be giving a gentle kiss while the other who is blushing with joy. I like the "telling a joke" interpretation best of all. Beautiful image of these owls ~ Excellent capture.

"Whisper in my ear and owl follow you anywhere." I imagine they were gone moments after this photo was taken. Does look like painting. You're really great with contrasts. Very nice Jan.

Just had this in the VB. Blew me away. Couldn't decide whether it was a painting ... a manipulation or a photo. Left immediately to see some more and learn more. Can't tell you how I love this capture. The pose caught, the dark surrounding not to mention the expression on the owl right. LOL Simply marvelous Jan ... and thanks for a favorite.

I think that Cynlee and I are on a brain wavelength here. I thought the same thing about the bird on the left with a tartan plaid on in thumbnail.

A painting? Yes, I think that's exactly what it looks like, as if someone decided to imbue these two with a touch of a humorous look into their secret lives.

Yes, the lighting is perfect, and I hope this does very well in the voting booth cause it certainly deserves it..Into my bird fave file.

Saw this in VB and had to comment. Wonderful job. Amazing composition on this. Very expressive birds. Maybe the photographer's fly was open and the joke is on you. Very well done.

An adorable capture! It looks like one is trying to sneak a kiss. I too, thought the one bird was wearing tarten plaid. The smiling owl makes me smile :), and the frame adds the finishing touch. Thanks for this happy couple Jan!
