Was lucky enough to have my camera with me when I saw this. There are actually two babies but only one is visible in this pic. The mom was close by too. I did my best to not disturb any of them.

Just a touch more contrast maybe, I'd have burned some of the bark (especially the hot spot on right), with the forground darkened, I think the baby bird might stand out a bit more. I hope that is the nest area and not as the title suggests ... blown out of his tree ??

I love owls! This is so cute!!! Look at his little beak and fuzzy feathers.

That is a very fuzzy bird. I would like this better if the owl was centered in a landscape photo.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.

Great achievement to have taken this shot, but I don't see too much too clearly in it. 6

Very hard to tell that is a baby owl, glad you mentioned it in the title.
