Thanks Jeff, Nikki and Lois for taking the time to comment on this image.
I'm currently working on a portfolio of wildlife images where the subject is looking directly at the camera and I was so pleased to encounter the owl unexpectedly one day, on my way to some bird feeders. #9237532

That neutral almost drab background is just the right foil for this owl's beautiful white and brown feathers. Love the lichen on the near trees too, Heather. Very well taken. Congratulations on the finalist and good luck in the next round. #9302721
