Beautiful Owl and a excellent capture! :)
Fabulous capture of this owl Danny, it looks beautiful well done!!
I always learn so much of what I want to learn when I come here. I've photographed birds for several months now, but mainly birds who feed at the water (or swim in it---in Lake Michigan); but I've come nowhere near what you've captured day after day in your magnificent bird shots. Here you have a landing, and there's so much amazing mixed energy here, it's almost as if he worked out the pose for you. It's not just the clarity of the wings while-in-motion (that everyone expects of you), it's the wonderfully diverse position of them, the dual directions, how one is more extended than the other, breaking the expected norm for some of us that a landing would have some sort of 'symmetry'. And standing at the center of this diverse landing is the owl's torso, which---like an owl---seems wholly non-plussed by its landing: He's still and stolid as can be; and, but for one foot slightly splayed, he's already into a 'rest' mode while his wings are still settling in for the afternoon. Beautifully composed; and the stone he settles on is a lot like him: Solid as it gets, unmoving and multi-layered. That's a beautiful piece of stone! Whatever you did that took you so much time paid of beautifully, Danny. A beautiful yet truly serene image.
But it was worth your effort!. What a beautiful shot this is.
Wonderful, just like an angel.
