I can´t belive the clarity of this fellow, Doyle! Amazing eyes and feathers. These owls can get quite stubborn. My mother once had an owl-encounter with a similar owl in the middle of the road that refused to move no matter what my mother did. She had to slowly drive off-road to pass it:-)
Excellent shot
Take care

One eyebrow cocked, telling those noisy kids they must get an education... :)))
This is wonderful Doyle... Great detail in the subject, I'm in love with those brilliant eyes, and the BG has come up a treat... Definately a *portrait* Sir...:)
Excellent...:)

Doyle,
Absolutely stunning photo!!! Lighting and details are gorgeous. Hmmm...critique, eh? Only thing I could think of is clean up the eye reflections a bit (not completely, I would leave the large white dot). It works as it is too. Well done. I hope to get one of these in the wild soon. My owl collection has been growing lately. Hope you've had a chance to check them out.

How sad that this poor owl was so nervous. I didn't know panting is a sign of nerves in owls.
I'm really regretting missing out on Whale Day. The shots of the various species of birds you have is just amazing.
The thumbnail of this owl was so clear I almost didn't have to click on the image to enlarge it to see how great it is.
The image is gorgeous. The feathers look so true to life that you can almost feel the softness of the feathers. I love the color of the owl's eyes. The background of the image looks so natural it looks like a blue sky with the sun setting in the distance.
Amazing my friend. Worthy of an award for sure. 7+!
