Here is another shot taken recently similar I posted earlier. In this capture owl was looking down with a sideway look. Sometime I prefer these shots than straight in to your eyes look.
D2Hs, 200-500mm f/5.6
1/15, ISO-1600, handheld, VR-ON @500mm

Please click on the image for uncompressed view, thank you.

NOTE: I edited the file and removed the white owl's poop. It was not very popular

Beautiful shot, Ludo. Nice pose details and the background is really nice.

I agree about views of the owl looking away from the photographer. Sometimes they do work better. This is a great back pose with the best detail in this series. Might consider cloning out or burning down the white at the bottom. Another handsome owl image, Ludo.

A great pose and wonderful expression in the sideways eye.. Lovely detail - and a poop for luck, what more could you want, Ludo!

What a look! Love seeing the plumage on it's back- a lovely view. Kind of agree with Ron about toning down the "white", but Carol has a point!

. It's what happens.
