Tremendous shot! Love the colors and the pose! Definite autumn scene. Feathers on this little guy are really fluffed up…must not have liked you around. Tee! Hee!
Keep up the great work! Thank you for sharing.

Stunning stunning shot, love the colours. Are these owls usually nocturnal?

The 600mm has given a really “up close and personal” view of the owl. The golden sidelight is really gorgeous. I like the way the trees have framed the bird on all three sides.
Keep up the good work Matt!
