Nicely done Vincent,

Even in the straight version he looks half asleep with his eyes!
Nice BKGR and details in the feathers.

Cheers

I think I prefer the jaunty angle of the first one - it seems to suit the expression more. Nice one.

Lovely shot Vince. I wish the wild ones were as accommodating. Is this guy flying free or do you photograph him inside the aviary? I always assumed that little owls don't come to a lure is that correct?
