Moonlight becomes you...

Moonlight becomes you...
Actually, this poor Great Horned Owl was caged in small enclosure at John James Audubon Center, his first home in America. I suspect the three owls in the enclosure were injured, but I still felt sorry for them as they paced to and fro on their shelves and perches. Wildlife is abundant in the 175-acre sanctuary; it is a gorgeous place. Anyway, to photograph this owl, I pressed my lens right up against the wire cage wall. But the wire walls surrounding him were still visible. So I masked him and put him against a dappled sky I had photographed earlier. The golden "moonlight" was a product of a series of plugins, as the photo was taken in midday sunshine.

Neat story and a bit sad too! maybe he will get better and have some freedom in his upcoming days?? Or mate and make new babies in captivity that can grow and be free?!! :)
