Marc, you have outdone yourself here.  This is beyond gorgeous.  There is so much to enjoy.  A feast for our eyes. Nearest I got to that Verraux Eagle Owl was in 1994 in Samburu NP.  Kept hooting all night.  LOL. Remarkable.
Make your life spectacular!

Stunning image indeed!
The subjects and the vegetation tell a story.
Very nice conversion to black and white where the scene works very well.

Spectacular shot. I'm sure you only had a second to compose it and you nailed it!

It's kind of magical the scene, the black and white, textures and that owl put it over the top. Amazing!
