This little owl looked quite peaceful tucked inside a tree hole, resting after an active night of hunting. Thanks to a couple of local photographers for pointing it out to me!
Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/250s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, FF, 4-5 snowflakes removed as they were not enough (I was really hoping for a strong snowfall, but it did not materialize).
Nice one Daniel. Very relaxing image indeed. You really did well handholding this at 1/250th. I like that you got enough light on in inner bark and the BG is not too different either
Really nice! Love the colors and sharpness. I think it would look even better as a vertical if the top of the cavity hole was included instead of being cut off.
Beautiful image Daniel - I somehow prefer the vertical, it just works so much better for me. Superb capture and great processing as always, techs 100%.
Owl is so cute, kind of grumpy and non-communicative, LOL - I simply adore this, works perfectly with the subject unaware of the photographer and so content and sheltered in its nest:)
You must love this species, your images tell me so
Sleeping Eastern Screech Owl.
