Captivating shot. Needs some sort of title like, "So. What are you staring at?" The partially opened beaks and those eyes make the shot. Nice DOF and lighting.Carol Teal April 18, 2010
I love those eyes too and the open beak, but I think the feathers over the beak make this owl look so comical! It looks as if he has a mustache. And a funny title would be nice...I even thought of "Haven't you ever seen an owl before?" #8546354Richard A. Midthun April 19, 2010
Carol, you are right. It is those "mustache" feathers that set things off with the eyes. What a great shot.David Novalis April 27, 2010
Haha! You are right. "Owl" is pretty boring. I need to think of something else. Thanks for the comments! #8573104Barbara Waldoch May 25, 2010
