It seems the bird is staring at me, as if it wanted to say - I'm just looking to see how you work. Back to work then. Great picture!

thats one manic little owl - i cant tell if its evil or just plain old constipated :-)

the capture detail on the feathers is excellent as is the muted colour palette.

He's probably annoyed at being awakened during the day, huh?

What a little character! Thanks for this. High marks.

what to say, the details are spectacular again.. you are truly a professional for this kind of shots :) congratulations, this one's outstanding as well!
the background blur makes a great contrast with the soft details feather of this little birdie.. but the look in its eyes..heh, i think he's angry because you're taking shots of him :D he might have thought you're a paparazzi :D birds must have privacy, too :))))

needless to say more, i love your bird shots.. keep up the fabulous work! this one is brilliant :) have a nice day! :)

Wow, what a spectacular shot! and what a pose! ok trying hard to keep it together. I think i laughed for about five minutes, and everytime i think i'm done, i start up again. This shot has class. The background blur, the soft cuddly owl, and then sudden harsh angry eyes, its a masterpiece. I love it, thank you

It is very hard not to anthropomorphize owls--especially this one. I think he sat behind me in trig class. Amazing personality--would be a great ad pic.

Does God have a sense of humor? You bet He does. Just look at the "puss" on this owl. I snickered the minute I saw it. Boy, did you ever capture this in the purest of clarity and detail. My first reaction was when I saw the thumbnail, "I've got to take a much closer look at this." Well, I did and the little owl is now mine...roosting on my desktop. High marks. Pat
