What a beautiful bird , Arash ! Excellent capture . I love the perch and a bit of environment as well as those piercing eyes.Also the hint of rain drops.

[D. Robert Franz]

Very nice image here.. Like the wet look. Graeat detail

[jack williamson]

Post them all, they are all excellent and I enjoy them. As usual the techs are right on, like the wet look, perch, and bg.

Perhaps the saddest looking owl I've ever seen. Love the water dripping off his wing. Loving these, Arash. Post em all.

[Randy Stout]

Arash:

One miserable looking young fellow. The exposure and processing strengthens that feel.

I certainly don't mind seeing the owls!

cheers

[Frank Schauf]

Beautiful portrait, great details and eye contact.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Arash, you are kidding, right? why would we mind seeing such shots :-)

great feel here. all those drops are great. nice perch, BG and comp. Was a bit higher angle possible to get the blue out of the frame?

[Sachin Saraf]

Keep em coming Arash each one is unique....I am sure you still have bunch of excellent images to share...
Rally nice exposure, pose, perch and BG...It would have been great to have only the dead grass as BG instead of that patch of sky as pointed out by KD...

[Marina Scarr]

Poor thing looks like a drowned rat. Love the look and the environment works very nicely here.

[gail bisson]

I love your snowy shots! keep them coming! What I like best about this one is the round log and the texture of it. The BG is terrific and I don't mind the blue. Love the bars on the owl,

[Karl Egressy]

It looks like she jsut stepped onf of the shower. Great picture, Arash, keep them coming.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

I only mind cause i am jealous as all heck! The setting here is so nice and i like the weeds and the falling rain as well as the sweet bg.

[dankearl]

The youngest Owl at Ocean shores and my favorite.
Great shot, beautiful Owl.

[arash_hazeghi]

thanks a bunch for all the nice comments.

PS. higher angle was not possible as this was a tripod shot and legs were already extended to max length

[Melissa Groo]

Bedraggled and miserable looking snowy, very well captured as usual by you, Arash. Love the comp, the staredown, the BG and the absolute clarity.

[Doug Brown]

Also the hint of rain drops.

It may look like a hint of raindrops, but I can assure you that it was RAINING! Nicely captured Arash!

[stuart wanuck]

Great love the eyes

[Conrad Tan]

Hahhahaha! Poor guy, he looks so unhappy! LOL

Great shot Arash!

[Robert Rommel]

Great shot here Arash! I love the rain - there's just enough of it to give the impression of a soft rain without being overpowering. I don't feel she looks unhappy, more of a stoic, can't be bothered by trivial things like a light rain. The OOF plants and rim of a skyline add a lot. Thanks for sharing!

[arash_hazeghi]

thanks a lot for nice comments everyone!

[Jamie Douglas]

I like the comp Arash and fantastic techs as usual mate. BG works and only thing I would wish for is a few more rain drops.
