Tawny Owl

[Alexander Koenders]

In the middle of a Dutch town lives this little owl. Amazing and lovely to know because he is less afraid of humans then the Owls in the nearby forrest.

Nice unusual image Alexander,
I really like the pose and composition!

Alexander I love the pose, composition and the sharp dark, beautiful eyes on this bird. The OOF branches might be a bit distracting to some people but they seem to frame the bird well in this case. The bird is not looking at you but something has obviously caught his attention.

Excellent photo, Alexander. I would second Stephen's comments. I like that it is not looking directly at the camera.

liked the composition a lot. wish the owl was a bit more sharp (image sharpness!!!).

I really love how the owl is naturally framed! Maybe the owl could have been a bit more sharper, but is doesn't bother me at all. I'd wish for more soft sunlight, but don't we all :)

Sweet, and how lucky you are to have an owl around who is not too afraid of people!
