Barred Owl

Very nice portrait of this Owl that stands out very sharp from the blurred background, ciao Giangiorgio

Thank you Giangiorgio.

Excellent photograph of this fellow!

Wonderful!

Hi Brian,

 

what a wonderful image! I really like the composition and the colors and especially the highlights in the owl's dark eyes. Great work! Kind regards, Vincent

Thank you Vincent, This was a lucky find. The sun just happened to highlight the bird on a branch while I was driving by. I watched it hunt and thought it would not return. Suddenly it came out of the thicket and landed in a tree close to me, I took a few shots then it moved to another tree and I was able to get a few more. This definitely made my day. Be safe, Brian

Excellent! I will save this image in my favourite folder as a source of inspiration. Best regards, Arthur.

Thank you Walter.

Thank you Franz.

Thank you Arthur, I am flattered.

Brian...Choice shot of the owl enhanced by that great background.Bravo et salutations-Laurent

Thank you Laurent!!!

Lovely shot!

Thank you, I was driving and saw the owl sitting far out in the field. At stopped to watch for a few minutes and it flew close while hunting then took off again.

Not sure how I missed commenting on this jewel. The isolation of the owl within the bokeh is exquisite. Bravo, Brian.

Thank you everyone for your comments and encouragement. I have a lot to learn.
