Screech Owl in a beech tree #5

Not just the usual nature photograph but a classic, highly detailed b&w picture of an owl that fits into its surroundings as a key fits into a lock. It is one with its environment.

Jack said it all.

I got lucky! A friend was letting me use her Nikon 200-500 lens to see if I liked shooting birds and I went out with a guy that knew his owls and he found this one. I am thinking about buying a lens like that.

What Jack said, and an intriguing level of abstraction by virtue of the processing.
