Thanks to all those who commented on my previous image.
With branches & bows stacked up above the Little owl, he has found a perch in which to lay in wait, concealed very nicely. Not ideal, as it puts him into the shadows, however he managed to position himself quite nicely IMHO, in terms of the BKG. I wanted the effect of the bows above to give the impression they are pushing down on him, not sure, but just my take.

Very cat like and great intense stare, wood mice?. I like the shot it tells a storey.
