Owl's neck can turn 360 degrees. This picture is blended from two consecutive rapid shots. The first one caught the owl when he is turning his head, while the second one is stationary.

I am not sure if it belongs to Wildlife or Photo Art forum.

Hi John, what an interesting creation! It does not however belong in the Wildlife Gallery. Since it is a artistic blend from two images I will move it to Photo Art rather than Avian.

Very cool photo John. Looks very surreal. Although an owl cannot turn its hear a full 360 degrees but close about 290 degrees. But it can with a turn of its head see 360 degrees all around.

Cool, I like how the eye is sharp but the head is spinning.
