Love how the branches frame him. I have yet to capture an owl in the wild; one flew right overhead once but disappeared into the trees before I could react. I'm jealous!

What luck to be able to capture a shot like this! The lighting is superb and the detail is wonderful. Topaz really worked well on this to bring out the detail! Nice job!

Owls are usually hard to spot in the daytime when they are sleeping in the trees. This was a good find. I have only had two opportunities like this over about 25 years of shooting pix. Excellent detail, and the environment looks very natural for this. I also like the way the three limbs frame the owl.
