Nice detail on the owl. I think the center placement works here.

That is seriously up close and personal! Details look sweet of this tiny owl. I agree that you this would be even better with some more depth of field. Love the beetle!!! The birds left eye (our right) still has a reddish cast to it. Man I'd love a view and shot like this of this bird. Have only seen it once in southern Texas. Waited near a well known nest for a couple of hours for it to emerge from the nest. All I got was a 2 second look well after the sun went down. Very nice shot Walker of a bird that there are very few quality photos of.

Such Beautiful Capture. I have never seen them in the field.
I agree the right eye has Red cast, very easy to fix should not be a problem.
I see that it was taken with flash. I heard that folk telling me to void flash to photograph Owls, I don't know much about the same. I recently saw some one using flash light to illuminate owls and then photograph them with out flash. Again not sure if that is a correct way.
If anyone has some information on this subject then I will glad if they can share some information on the same.
Thanks for sharing the Image.

I agree a bit ore DOF would have helped and that the right eye has a red glaze to it. You're outta luck on the first part but can deal with the second!

Krishna - there are bad ways and not so bad ways to use flash. I try to underexpose my flashes rather than drowning the owl in a burst of light. I usually shine a light on them first, and give them a chance to fly before I trigger the flash. I have seen owls hunt successfully directly after a flash exposure, I don't believe it harms their eyes at all.
Thanks for feedback regarding the red cast, I will definitely fix that!
