Little Owl - Athene noctua

The far background gave me a nice bokeh to this bird, the light wasn't so good in this day so, when I spotted this bird I waited for few minutes until the sun gave more light to take this picture, it is a crop of 6 mp from the 8mp out of the camera.

Full description you can find in my former post Little Owl.

I am sorry that I am not so active on the last days, work... :)

Excellent work Elroyie, I like this perch and pose very much, nice POV. Very sharp and detailed with natural colors..I might've removed the OOF branch in back is all..When I think of Elroyie I think birds - birds done very well indeed!!

What a pose, excellent! Would suggest a closer crop, maybe choose portrait format instead of landscape.
