Fright Night

Not sure if it was just because it saw me, or if it was that darn shutter again! Those eyes sure could not get any bigger.

[Christina]

Yes it sure looks startled

[Casablanca]

Ha ha, great shot! Wonder what he saw?

[JackieR]

Mirror less on the cards as they're silent Diana?? But then you may not have got this! And the title is so funny

[Maggiemae]

They always look so startled. I have a small statue of an owl that looks just like this - but yours is real! fav

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I would get a mirrorless if I could afford one Jackie! Too late now as I have invested too much in the Canon ;-)

[Kathy A]

Those eyes are fabulous

[JackieR]

@ludwigsdiana hahaha xxx

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I guess they are so used to operating in the dark that anything in the daylight makes them skittish. It's a great portrait and the background work is really good.

[bkb in the city]

Great capture
