[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Those are two baby Little Owls staring at me from their 'house' a hole in the wall, I waited for them very long time until they started to show themself, they were so funny that I was affraid that I will scare them with my lough...
In this shot I managed to catch them both in the entrance, I love their eyes and the curious look that they have, I hope that you will enjoy them as well.

In this picture I had very big problem of flare, the sun were in a very uncomfortable angle that entered between my lens to those two baby owls, I had to work with PS to neutralize this flare as much as I could.

Full description you can find in my former post On guard .

Hi Elroyie,
Excellent shot and well composed. They are cute with those big eyes.
I like the colors in this image.
I would like to know how you got rid of the flare. I have one, I can't seem to rid of it. It's one circle, like a drop of water effect.

What a wonderful shot, Elroyie. These baby owls are so so cute. It must have been difficult to take a shot of them. They are still fairly deep in the hole. Excellent shot and thanks for bringing us these two cuties. I, for one, am certainly enjoying them. TFS. ; )

Hi Elroyie,
Great shot, nicely framed by the hole.
Great focus on the very cute owls.
I wonder what it would look like with a tighter crop?
Nice work
:)

Very nice shot, great lighting, good colour.
TFS!

Elroyie, this is very nice. I do enjoy owls, and I've been trying a similar shot for quite a long time. So far, I haven't been successful.

I like pov and sharpness. And, yes, thos eyes. Since they are babies they have great eyes.

Congratulations.

This is a funny and superb shot ! These babies are very nice in their hole. I understand your reaction when saw them.
Thanks Elroyie for sharing.

Your patience was rewarded with a rare catch that many bird photographers would envy. The expression of these pairs of eyes is remarquable. Your did an amazing job in PS. Determination, talent and a bit a luck, that what it takes to get great shot like this one.
