We went to Rabat (Gozo) in the evening for mass and I told the others to pass through a street/alley different from the previous day to get to our cars. I was rewarded when we took this very dimly lit alley and we saw this man sitting on a chair with this beautiful owl on his arm enjoying the evening peace. We stopped to talk to him and I asked if I could take a shot at the owl and he said "Of course you may do so!" It was quite dark and I didn't want to scare the owl so I didn't use flash to take the picture.
I used sc for the eye and enhanced the colour when I processed this shot.
Btw the man assured us that the owl was born in captivity.
Thank you so much for looking and for the comments and fav’s on yesterday’s picture.
Wow! Fabulous capture! So fortunate you chose that particular alley to get to your cars. I love when photo opportunities present themselves that way. This beautiful owl is definitely a fav! :-)
