Wowza! Before I read your text I said this has to be the favorite of the series. What a treat just to find a photograph this tiny owl; and you took the opportunity and ran with it. Beautifully done. No nits. Nice work in tough light.

Boy do I wish I got on that plane with you instead of going back to NY! This is great. And super results at such a crazy low shutter speed. Love the perch, colors and background. I told you about my experience of spending an entire day walking in circles looking for the Northern Pygmy that was "always there". I'm very happy that you did not have the same experience, especially after we do so poorly on owls. I think I would lower the highlights on the top of the branch just a tiny bit.

Hi Gail, how is that stare, and in turn, love those lovely clear round eyes. I like the curved perch across the frame, together with the placement of the little guy. The hint of blood adds interest, after viewing your previous image.

Oh boy, this image is to die for. My favorite head angles with owls are when they look downwards like this. Perfect!

Hi Gail, I'm really late to the party, but I can still echo all the great comments already posted. This is a truly stunning image. Congrats and thank you for sharing this beauty.

Hi Gail, I'm here, and very glad you got on the plane. Love the downward intense stare, beautiful light, great perch and perfect BG.

I won't say it again but you sure got some great stuff in Vancouver. This one looks fantastic also. I really liked the perch and the Nice green background. The downward look doesn't bother me either as it looks like he or she is on the hunt. This is probably my second favorite just behind pygmy owl number two. Great job.
