Another shy Owl

I went back to eagle encounters to look at the birds. Although this Bengal Owl posed so nicely last time, he was very distracted and would not look at me. So a profile shot and a texture today.

Very nice to see an owl in profile as I'm not used to seeing them that way. Come to think of it - I'm not used to seeing owls at all! It looks good against your texture.

[Annie D]

great image!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

such lovely detail

[Christina]

Do the eyes change colour - wasn't it yellow last time?

[Issi Bannerman]

Beautiful bird!

[moni kozi]

Oh yes! Wonderful!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Wonderful - very painterly !

The pose is great and looks shy. Great capture. The background texture and color matches the subject, too.

[Mags]

Nice closeup!

FAV A profile is such an unusual shot for an owl. I like the clarity with this one and the texture you applied

[Pam]

Wow! The detail is amazing! He looks very wise.

[Lynne]

Perfect! I like the texture you added.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful shot.

[Susan Wakely]

Great profile.

[tony gig]

Brilliant.

[Rob Z]

Marvellous

[Milanie]

Using the textured background works really well with your owl

[Esther Rosenberg]

ha, he turns his head away yet he keeps the evil eye on you lol.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Awesome shot

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like this profile. I don't think they always have to be face-forward to be a nice portrait. Your background makes him stand out quite nicely.

[Bill]

First, I love the background. Beautiful capture.

[Glover Shearron, Jr.]

Still quite striking in profile!!

[Allison Maltese]

A wonderful close up and I like the background.

[Rick]

Great capture and edit.

[Chris]

Nice sharpness in the eyes. Lovely edit.

@christinav The one with the yellowish eyes is a spotted eagle owl Christina. Depending if the sun shines in, their eyes do look a bit lighter or deeper. The above owl is a bengal eagle owl :-)

[Steve Chappell]

Wow, fantastic capture

[Heather]

A great close-up! That orange eye is so riveting! Fav!

[Cheryl]

Beautiful, looks like a painting
