Hello Mikael,
whaaa superb picture!! How I love owls in general and this species in particular.
It is a bit on the dark side, but nothing serious.

This shot makes my husband jealous. He LOVES owls and here too there are few. You were lucky to spot him without a lot of distracting background and posing for you. It is a great capture especially hand holding that big lens.

Hello Mikael,
This must have been an impressive encounter! You were lucky to be able to photograph him on the top of the tree without any branches to disturb you. This is a very nice capture with natural exposure, beautiful details and great eye contact. Well done and TFS,

Hi Mikael,
Wonderful shot and a fantastic expression captured. The BG looks superb and presents a fine base to highlight the subjects perfectly. Very impressive sharpness, colours, lighting and exposure. Great POV and DOF here and the composition is marvellous. Kudos.

Hej Micke
Excellent shot!
Du fick den här ugglan jättesnyggt.
Hoppas att du kommer att ha tid att mata fåglarna under tiden då Gert har influensan.
