Jeez, the detailed texture is just incredible on this one Armin. Great image!

You are too fast, Techo :o)
Eagle owl (Bubo bubo) is correct, you can find them in Europe, Asia and Afrika. And they are really larger than I thought, their wings spread to some 1.7 meters :-o
Cheers, Armin

Awesome capture, Armin! have never seen a red eyed owl before.
Do you by any chance know what type of owl this is?

'Spoilt' by the white bg, because it is outside and the white is snow. :o)
Hm, I will check, if I have one with more forest behind it. Cheers, Armin

Wow..Armin at 150mm you were pretty close to this beauty.
Find the white background to un-natural. Is this a setup shot?

Nice detail in the feathers Armin. I love bird pictures so I'll say the eyes look red too ;-) CJ

It looks red to me mate & a really nice shot spoilt by the horrible white background................Why!:-)
