Barred owl and snake

Gallery: AvianPosted March 23, 2016145 views2 comments

I had seen an owl in this area a couple of times, but no chance to get a photo, until this morning. Was able to get a couple of quick photos before the owl moved to another tree. Taken from my van.

Interesting shot, John. Was this cropped a lot? Looks just a little soft to me (but I think I like my pictures sharper than a lot of people). Not sure what software you use, but if it's not cropped too much, maybe some sharpening of just the bird might bring out a little feather detail. I like the good view of the unlucky snake, too.

John,
I like the shot. The colors are natural and the pose is perfect. The owl stare is haunting.
Nice work.
Brian
