A simple Screech Owl

Absolutely the first "big" photo editing with Gimp.

Hi Gianluca. What an impressive stare ! I would even think of going for a tighter crop(upright) to give even more impact.
Good stuff.

Love the pose and that STARE! Branch going through his left "ear" is a bit less than desirable. Was this shot in Italy? The reason I ask, is that it doesn't really look like a Screechie... But is spot on for a Long-eared Owl here in the US! Really cool capture tho! TFS!

[Gianluca Molina]

Yes, photographed in Italy and in the outskirts of the city of Novara.


Sorry bat... "Screechie." what does it mean?

[Sandy Witvoet]

"Screechie" .... short for Screech Owl.....

Ok, thanks for your reply :)
