While in the southern Andes i had a great encounter with this endemic and really rare owl.
Hope you like it.

Alfredo:

Really neat that you captured this rare fellow. Must have been a thrill.

I would consider toning down the luminosity to reduce the flashed look and also get rid of the red eye.

My first approach to toning down the luminosity would be to run a multiply layer on the image, which should help considerably.

Cheers
