Owl-in-the-Pulpit

[Daniel Cadieux]

This Eastern Screech-Owl was photographed this past weekend. A pretty neat roosting hole, and not too high off the ground either! To see other images of this encounter, and lessons on exploring the angles and using your feet, check out my latest blog post here:

lovely frame Daniel, love the view of his eye and the tree hole he is tucked in. i might experiment darkening the bright yellows a tad

TFS, i have never seen these guys in good light and a in a good setting like this

Great looking frame Daniel. I really like the outward pose and the roosting cavity in this tree. For some reason my eye wants to take off a bit off the top although I know this is a nice 2X3 format. Well done

Lovely image of a Eastern Screech Owl, very appropriate title also if one has ever seen a Jack in the Pulpit. If mine I might try to rotate the image or fill in the upper left corner. Thank you for sharing, Daniel.

Echo everyone else here -- really nice frame. Good advice re: exploring different angles as well, I all too often realize when I put the images on my computer that I just shot dead on instead of trying something new.
