Thanks for the look Bruce, I agree with the face, if you overlook the nose hair!

Wow, awsome eyes! I don't think you can get too close to these or any owl, nice work!


Thank you Laura, I'll try and get a little closer next time.

Doug, these are great, thank you for posting them. I do agree with the comment about the oversharpened look on some of them, but they are really stunning pictures. Great shooting.

Chris


Thank you for the kind words Chris. I'm not sure how I missed the sharpening on the first ones, I think the redo is much better.

Well, I have to say I didn't notice the oversharpening the first time around, Doug. But between my cheapo reading glasses and my monitor, it's really hard to figure out WHAT'S going on sometimes... Still like 'em all, even more so now, and that last one is ever more of a stunner...It would look good on the door of a supervisor! (and have the eyes that follow you around

Best Wishes,
Steve

Doug, I didn't see the original (oversharpened) shots, but these are fantastic. I can't help but feel a little like Trailhiker (or, at least, I know how he feels). Congratulations on a great find!

Dave I.


Thank you David. I could have easily missed this guy, just happened to look in the right direction at the right time.

Wow! Nice shots. If you look closely on number 5 and concentrate in the pupil area...you'll see your shadow or silhouette when you took the pic.

RC


Thank you RC. You can definitely see me kneeling down in tht one, it was pretty much full frame.

Awesome shots for sure Doug... these are beautiful and different.
s/he must have dove right into the water after it's prey... cool.

Thanks for the comments Terry. It was early in the morning and there was still a lot of dew on the grasses, I don't know if the moisture was from that or the water. All I know is that it wasn't leaving it;s breakfast on the ground.

I didn't notice it either Steve. Between my bifocals and an equally old monitor, I encounter the same scenario! Thanks for the nice words, those are some wiked eyes.
