I like the natural version better, Rathika.
Rathika from India and Sebnem from Turkey are the two memebers on TN who make the long wait for their next pictures worth their while :-).
Wonderful close-up shot with natural colours and a natural BG.
The bird made a determined eye contact with you before flying off; that, IMHO, is the best aspect of this great picture.

Hi Rathika

A very beautiful and rare (i think) picture of this lovely owl. I'm guessing that besides the fact that they are very shy of humans, that it's not everyday one sees such a great creature in the day time :)
I also agree - the natral one looks so much better :)
The POV is excellent, the details are nice considerring the conditions and the natural colors are lovely.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Rathika,
on the thumbnail I thought: what a peculiar Little owl. It's related to Anthene noctua, and I've never heard of this species. Lovely captured at daytime. Well done,

This is looking frightening like all other owls. Thats why they are the most popular artists of horror films :)
Nice capture with good DOF, sharpness and natural colors.
TFS Rathika.

bon dimanche merci du partage

Hi Rathika

So cute! Love the eye contact here. He looks very inquisitive. Nice work. TFS.

Hello Rathika,
What a great POV you had there! This is vey well done with excellent details and exposure. I must say that I prefer its natural habitat more than the WS version :-) Great eye contact, well done! TFS,
Claudine

Hi Rathika,
A superb shot on this young Spotted Owl. A spot on exposure has the colors and detail looking superb. Well composed and framed. The pose is perfect. What great eye contact. Awesome shot!
