  My goodness. Startling. Mesmerizing eyes captured so very well. Wonderful background, which so often we can't get. Beautiful.

  Thank you so much, Brenda! Now I'm thinking I shouldn't have called it "Blending In," but rather "Standing Out" LOL

  "Blending In" is fine--my first thought before I read your description was that he was really camouflaged well here and that the owl and tree trunk combination really filled the frame so nicely. The lighting and your dof are just right--it's easy to distinguish him but nothing except those amazing eyes interrupts the overall pattern. Terrific capture, Colleen.
