Interesting pose. Nice detail and the eyes really draw you in.

Intriguing pose! I don't believe my eyes have come any faster to the focus of interest in a subject. I was all set to comment on the business of the background, and my "nit" just became insignificant!

what a marvellous pose Basri. As has already been commented, the background is far from ideal but with a pose like that who cares. :toast:

A very expressive head turn you captured of this attractive owl species Basri :biggrin: Love those wide open eyes.

Brilliant, Basri. The head rotation is terrific; a perfect capture.

A very different-looking bird than the North American Long-eared Owl.
