I'll go out on a limb here and say it is even bloody cute! :D Looks like it's smirking at you too.
Like the framing by the tree trunk on the RHS and the feather coloring is spectacular. I've never seen a rusty owl like this guy. Nice how it kind of belnds with the tree in the BG.
:) Thanks a lot for sharing.
One sleepy owl, very nice pose looks like she's leaning against the tree to take a nap. Why LV focus?!! did you have the 2X TC on?

Live View Focus cause my subject wasn't moving and it's dead nuts perfect every time :) It is far more precise that AF or manual.
Jim:
Nice to see a red morph. Good techs, like the composition and textures.
Off a tripod I assume?
Randy
Definitely off a tripod at 1/80 :)
I thought I'd try a close up crop to make it a bit more personal with the subject.
Jim:
I thought perhaps you were testing the VR function of your lens! :D
Pretty darn cute photo.
Randy
Woah ! This is such a cute one. I would experiment with the compo a bit , maybe take out the RHS trunk ??
Super cute--love the unusual red color. Nice details too.
Love it, it has the "feel" of a ginger kitten:D, especially on the thumbnail A lovely colour with nice plumage detail.
I like it as presented Jim. One of these days your going to get one with eyes wide open. :) I admire your persistence.

This owl looks like a cat to me! nice colors and feel. Would love to see it with the eyes open.
Well....these birds sleep during the day and rarely open their eyes during the winter from what I've seen.
They are cute no matter what :)
