Grumpy old owl

Disturbed this young bird one evening last week, which is probably why he looks grumpy.

Hand held with a 110 - 300mm lens, early evening light, under a tree. Might be one for the 'asymmetrical' contest.

Looks like you are right in the firing line, John.
It must have been wonderful to see. Great shot.

The owl doesn't look very happy ... looks like he is giving you the 'evil eye'. Wonderful capture.

Judging from the top of his head, his feather certainly looks ruffled! Nice catch...unusual pose.

A great capture of the owl John. Nice composition and DoF in the photo.
