I captured the awe-inspiring beauty of this owl on the edge of a wood next to a marshland……I have to say,that the encounter with this bird has left a permanent imprint in my memory….Please enjoy.

What a great capture Mick. I knew you headed out early. This beauty was most likely headed for a nap. They are so much better caught in the wild.

Tremendous shot here Mick, I was just looking at a Wildfowl Caving Magazine, and they had some study photos of some owls. Your pix would have fit right in. The clarity of this bird is outstanding.

Interesting and fantastic shot, well lighted as well. A little too centered though. Anyhow there's great detail and clarity, great capture then.

Fantastic! If it were mine I'd be cropping a bit off both sides ... more on the right, but it's not mine, so I'll keep it like it is. So very crisp, and that's what I like besides owls.
