This photo was captured at Gaziantep Zoo...
The Eurasian Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) is a species of horned owl resident in much of Europe and Asia. The Eagle Owl is a very large and powerful bird, similar in size, but typically slightly smaller than the Golden Eagle. It is the largest species of owl with a wingspan of up to 200 cm. Adults can weigh in excess of 4 kg, in comparison the common Barn Owl weighs about 500g. It mainly feeds on small mammals, but can kill prey up to the size of foxes and young deer (up to 7 kg), if taken by surprise. Larger prey (over 3 kg) is consumed on the ground which leaves the bird vulnerable (i.e. to other foxes). It will also take many other birds including other birds of prey.

Hi Fatih,
I like so much the warm tones of this picture, you used a very good POV to show us this owl.
The red eye detail stands out on the picture.
Very good the vertical composition to take the best of the elements here.
Well done and thanks for share.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Fatih.
I like your terrific picture. Its colour palette, contrast, exposure and razor sharpness (of the main subject) are simply great. Composition of the shot I am sure is outstanding as well as the cropping of the image. Especially I like exactness of the DOF selection. Bravo, Perfect job, expressive shot. My compliments and best regards.
Alexei.

Hello Fatih,

I like this profile portrait, as the charateristic eyes come very well though...
Fine details in the feateher coat, colours are well reproduced!
Greetings,

Hello Fatih,
I would not have guessed that this was taken a a zoo. You did such a nice composition with a very nice POV and which makes it look like its a natural enviroment setting. Details and sharpness are very nice. I like the warm tones in this compostion.
