Barn Owl

[Doug Brown]

I photographed this Barn Owl at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum last year. I don't photograph captive birds all that often, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity. I thought I'd share it with the forum.

You should definitely spend more time with the captives when you get a chance. I love the open beak on this one. A very nice pose with good detail....even a catchlight which is hard to get on a barn owl. The BG is pleasant but I can't decide if I like the pink strip at the top or not. Well done on this one.
