Found this Saw Whet Owl yesterday at Amherst Island. Saw 5 Snowy Owls, at least 5 Long Eared Owls, 3 Short Eared Owls, 1 Boreal Owl. 5 species of Owls in one day, not bad. :D
I took many photos of this little fella and was surprised how many were sharp. (slow shutter speed) Quite a few were taken at 1/160 and 1/200. I have most images with eyes open, but thought this looked pretty cool.
Superb!!! detail on the face is fantastic, looked like you found yourself a very obliging Owl..
I managed 3 different Owl's when I was out the other day, Barn, Little and a Short Eared Owl...
The light and the details look very good to me ! I think the head angle somehow makes this shot of this closed-eye owl works. Love the feel of this photo, too !!
I love this one, Jody! Kinda want to pat the little fella on the head... I especially like the closed eyes and eyelid feather detail, also the dark shadowy exposure. Great memorable image!
