Long eared owl (Asio otus)

[Juan Aragonés]

This is a captive bird that I photographed some time ago at a falconry event. This owl species is a real beauty in my opinion. C&C wellecomed

Beautiful bird and well-captured. Great complementing BG, too. I might put him a bit further to the left in the frame.

He is beautiful......and that BG is amazing. When I see these owls I always think that they look "surprised". Excellent image!

Hi Juan!

Superb! What a beautiful face, and ears up alert pose! I agree with Axel, slightly left? I love those eyes!

[Gus Cobos]

Great pose Juan, I like the intense look of the eyes. The colors and details are sharp...:cool:
