Little Owl

[Andrew George]

Hi all,

I've paid a visit to my friend Little Owl this week. The light conditions were terrible, very hard light and I wasn't able to go early in the morning or late in the evening. I plan to go back with better light, but still I've tried to make the best of it and he is not always sitting in this pear-tree :(. A fullframe photo, normally I wouldn't zoom in this close, but as the environment was very difficult I did. I am happy with it anyway, always looking for better oppertunities :D

Nice colors and feather details, I like how you frame the picture with the tree on the right side.
