Late afternoon sun.  About a 50% crop.  iso 1600 was pushing it.  Tough exposure.  I wish there was a little less noise.  I watched these little fledglings for about 2 hours and this was the only exposure where all 3 had their faces showing at the same time...

A rare spectacle indeed! I like the one-eyed jack! Wish it was a tad sharper but this is a tough focus shot. Bonus points though for originality.

I know how difficult this is and how frustrating it is to wait and wait for them to look the right direction.  I tried to get only 2 Great Horned owlets, and mine didn't turn out as well as yours.  Nicely done, and I think it's cute with the one eye showing on the little one.  Looks like they're about ready to fly the coop.  I loved your collection of images, by the way.
