Bonjour Joe
La composition est très délicate, la chouette est bien positionnée sur l'image et la souche sur laquelle elle est posée la met bien en valeur, ainsi que le bg. Bref, une excellente photo, bravo !

Hi Joe,

Any title would be fine for this wonderful picture. The Barn Owl on the moss covered stump is fabulous. I love the faces on these owls and you show it perfectly. He really does stand out from the background.

Hi Joe. You have done very well in this one . as you had such poor light and rain this make it even better. great detail and natural colours. The log covered in moss makes a good stand for the Owl, well done TFS.

Although I have a great admiration of the amazing details you captured in the close up, this too is a wonderful piece of work. The quality is superior, thank you for sharing Joe.

hello Joey

betwen this photo of the Barn Owl and the one posted
2 postings ago, the close-shot, personnaly i love much better
this one because in this image i love to see the nature around
the owl, even if the background is blurred i can feel that we
are in a forest, and because too of that dead tree branch where
the Owl is posed, for me that it brings alot to this great shot,

excellent POV and framing, excellent DOF, lovely luminosity
of the image and density of the colours, great eye-contact,
excellent sharpness and details, very beautiful photo, TFS


Asbed
p.s. i would give as title : « The Barn Owl in the forest »

Joe, I admire this mid-range shot of the Owl as ardently as I did the facial close-up.
The subject looks wonderful on that moss-covered tree stump.
Many thanks for sharing yet another great image of a Barn Owl.

Joe, this is fantastic! Especially the composition which is top notch. If I had to ask for an improvement it would be less sky in the background so that the owl stood out more, but you can't have everything!
