Its some sort of old Owl that the local zoo has in a reptile building, hes free to roam the entire building, yea he is a little goofy looking but was a riot to shoot as it was just before close and was just the two of us in the building so I managed to keep his attention quite easily :)

The Raven - Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary...

Comment by PhotoDave:
Took this on a day trip to the mountains and being in the mood I was in some people suggested the possibility of taking "darker" so to speak photos, so being a huge Edgar Allen Poe fan I instantly thought of his poem "The Raven", with this raven sitting on this old tree that had fallen over and adjusted the colours to where pretty much by accident got some of the colours in the roots to come out as if it were blood which IMO added to the effect. And punched up the contrast to give it a more sinister look.
