Here's Looking at You
Great Horned Owls. Tough light on this one as I had to over expose to get the owls, but blew out the sky.

Lee,
Now there's a rare catch. It's hard enough to get one of these fellows let alone two. Good job!

Now these are neat. You must have felt licky to see these two together.

Lee, this is great, maybe not a framer but certainly a good capture.

I always hate to mention sharpness due to the web compression but I'll mention it here. Is there sharpness in the eyes? or, can you sharpen the eyes?

Yes the eyes can be sharpened. I did not do anything to the eyes because as you correctly point out this is not a framer.

Aww, so cute. They're juvies, right?

About all they can do at this age is hop from branch to branch. Mom is always near to take care of the crows that would be all over them without her.
