What an incredible bird! I love the light and the moss picks up his eyes so nicely. All of your owl shots are just gorgeous. BV!

Even though there is less of the owl then usual, the composition for a wonderfully 'full' picture is achieved. The size of the tree stump helps to realize the true size of the bird.
I love the light on the moss and the texture of the wood. The bird seems subdued in the context of the 'bigger picture' he is part of.
