Hello Asbed
You have achieved tremendous detail and focus through the tangle of twigs that were shrouding your view of this lovely barred owl...The framing is spot on with the nice blur of green leaves the the left showing how dense and deep the owl was away from you.
Best Regards

Hi Asbed,

This owl shows up so well thru the branches. He looks wonderful in this setting. It's strange for most of us to see leaves on a tree this time of year. You captured good details of his face and plummage. I would love to see one during daytime - I can hear them on the chimney late at night.

You go to the forest and meet a lady who tells you where an owl is...now that is the kind of thing books are written about:-) I say that with a smile of course...Very nice image. good chance on meeting her...

Bonjour Asbed
aurais tu changé de caméra ? Les couleurs ne sont pas équilibrées de la même manière sur tes autres photos.
En tout cas, c'est très réussi, j'aime beaucoup voir ces rapaces dans leur milieu naturel,
bravo
amitiés,
Pat

Asbed,

Three owls in one day! That's great, good for you.
You've captured this one in its natural habitat. Don't worry about the branches. It is not usually the case that these birds come out and pose for us. The way you have it in your picture presents the owl how one might see it in the wild. Good job.

Regards,

Martin

Hello Asbed,

Nice shot at this lady in natural environment. A bit busy in front but still well seen in its perch. Good light and I like the sleepy eyes.

Bonjour Asbed,

Elles ne sont pas faciles à capturer ces chouettes rayées. Toujours très hautes et bien camoufflées, tu réussis à nous la montrer en un seul morceau et avec une assez bonne netteté malgré ces petites branches qui font parties de son environnement. Bien fait!

Hi Asbed

Well seen! The owl seems very content. I like the natural feel of this shot - it is what wildlife photography is about.

Bonsoir Asbed, tu es bien chanceux de trouver tous ces beaux hibous! Je n'en ai vu qu'à distance et si peu. Belle photographie de cet oiseau entremêlé de branches. On dirait qu'il se cache derrière les branches pour un petit roupillon. Très jolie et très naturelle, avec des couleurs très vraies et une douce lumière hivernale des boisés, j'aime beaucoup. Et merci pour les notes!

Hi Asbed,

You did so well not only to see him, but to get a shot away through all those branches. You have most most of his but, but got the fave, which is the main thing. The branches are actually important to your shot as it gives a feel for the bird's environment. Well done.
