Oh wow......a clean image of a Saw-Whet Owl. This is absolutely gorgeous.....great pose, simple perch and a wonderful complimentary BG. I think I'm in love with this little guy. Well done.

This one Ray is much better. More what I was looking for in the more recent post up top of this one.

So that's what their bodies look like. NIce to see one in the open. I really like the perch, BG, and the look-back pose on this. Very nice image.
