A well composed, handsome image of the Great Gray Owl, Paul. I love the camoflauge provided by the habitat, and the eye contact. Very nice.

What a thrill it must be to photograph these incredible owls. Superb image, Paul.

How well it blends into the sticks- beautifully done! I wonder how many aren't spotted when they blend into the woods so well.

Even with the great camouflage of the bare branches, the owl is very well captured especially in the larger view. Such an amazing owl which I've only seen in captivity.
