Hello Mario,
Very nice capture, it looks like it was a cold day
despite the bright BG the owl is very clear and sharp
Well done

Hi Mario,
very nice to see your first owl photo and a nice one it is.Today Rick Price has also an owl posted.I have been to Tommy Thomson Park and I never did see an owl at the time I was there but I'm happy to know that they can be found there,even now.It must of been a thrill for you to have captured this bird as I remember getting my first owl and taking maybe 300 photos of it.Given the less than ideal light conditions you have done very well with this capture as the details and colours are good.A belated happy new year to you and all the best. Bob

This is wonderful Mario. It is a beautiful owl and a lovely photo of it. The detail sharpness is great and I really the natural color. Nice work.
