Reworked to tone down the moss and perch.

Nice, Mike. The V of the branch really helps concentrate one's focus and makes for a strong composition. I like the tone downof the branch in the repost, but actually prefer the moss of the original. I'll have to bring my flash and remember how to use it.

Great capture Mike. Love the setting and the curious look of the owl.
