A classic shortie

This image is from several years back, I was so fortunate during that trip when many factors lines up and I had a filed day with the owls. Visited again this year and it was not the same (obviously).

Hope you like this frame

Very nice indeed Arash, love the warm tones and light. I might have pruned that vertical grass stem to the right of the perch, a wee bit distracting. I'll be giving the area a miss next week.

A beauty of an owl image. I remember others from the series a few years ago, and I'm still impressed. What a day that must have been.

Outstanding image, great pose, HA and details. Love those eyes. Sweet BG as well.

Love the earth tones in this image. The owl matches the background beautifully. Framing is spot on as is the detail. Love those eyes.
