Just inside the canopy off of the forestry trunk road,north of Mountainaire Lodge . He stuck with me with amazing patience....I hated to outstay my welcome.....but it's a spellbounding sight to be with such a majestic raptor.

Great shot. I've been photographing bald eagles all spring and summer and like you am amazed by raptors. I'm hoping to find some owls this winter!

what a cool owl - I would love to see him up close even more

This is an outstanding shot. Exactly how close were you before he flew away???

I bet he was like that the heck is this thing coming towards me...

IMO I think you should have cropped tighter to really show him off. The background on the left and right side blend way too much and a tighter crop would have really made this shot perfect.

Nice capture of owl in natural setting! He's a beauty! I think cloning the two bright areas just to the right and left of his head would help keep the focus on him, but nicely done.

Well seen but needs more fill flash for the details to show up more.

nice capture, it may have been a bit stronger if you'd darkened the background in the UR and cropped the branch on the L
