    Hi Joe, what a wonderful behavior you caught and i love the habitat. The moss and leaves give a framed curtain view of the owls. Super nice Joe, well done

    Sweet. A good dose of flash would have improved this by evening out the exposure ...

    I think you've captured a tender moment, but the foliage is quite distracting. If it were blurred more and/or the birds were tack sharp
    it might work better, but as it is now the birds are kind of lost in it.

    I love the behavior shown here.
    Oddly enough I am OK with the foliage as it frames the birds nicely.
    Too bad you did not have a foot stool with you as I think being a foot higher off the ground would have helped this image,
