Great Gray Owl Eye

October, 2013 I was fortunate to get a close up of a GGO. From that I made a large crop to this one eye because I was impressed with the eyelashes. Comments always appreciated.

1DIV, EF600, ISO 1200, 1/3200, f7.1, tripod.

This is pretty cool, Ralph. You're right about the eyelashes.

Definitely a fine, detailed look at this eye and the surrounding feathers.
