A lovely close up of this owl's eye, John. Good job of taking advantage of a rare opportunity. I see a photog and a female in the reflection.

Now that's detail, John! A perfect job of focus and I don't think I've ever seen that much detail in an iris.

Fabulous John, LOVE it!!! Such a fantastic amount of detail PLUS I'm guessing a "selfie" to-boot
