[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Great grey owl is a fascinating owl. The staring eyes of this big owl are unforgettable. For more detailed information about this owl I refer to a previous posting.
I didn't see this owl in "real nature" but in birdpark Plantaria (Germany.

As you said: 'unforgettable eyes'.
Great portrait with good details and sharpness.
Well done, Zeno.

hi zeno
super,ce portrait est vraiment"chouette",oui je sais elle etait facile,encore que en allemand cela ne veut peut être rien dire.
de tres bons details, s'il fait ces yeux là c'est qu'il a eu peur de l'objectif,non?

Woooooow ! What a wonderful portrait that you have very well done ! His face and expression are great, unforgettable, yes... The quality is great too.
Congratulations Zeno and thanks for sharing.

Hi Zeno!
Beautiful portrait. The owl staring right at you. Excellent detail, spot on focus and right exposure. I see it was taken at 400mm. Did you use something different from your Sigma 170-500? Congratulations,
Mark

Hi Zeno,
Great DOF. Unfortunately not in the wild. Fortunately somebody keeping it alive.

Regards,
Ken

A great close-up of this beautiful owl, Zeno.
They ARE fascinating birds and so very photogenic.
Wonderful details. Love the "disk" of feathers around his face that allows him to hear better. Talk about a close encounter.
TFS. : )

Hi Zeno,
A truly superb frame filling portrait on this Great Grey Owl.
The spot on exposure really shows the colors and detail in the plumage extremely well. You feel like he is staring right thru you. Excellent shot!

Hi Zeno,
Excellent! Fantastic detail and the nice tight crop with the black BG works really well. Great textures in the feathers and an almost perfect exposure :-) Nice alert stare from the Owl as well, great shot.

Adrian
