You know... this owl is so pretty and so scary ;-)
It looks a little like my husband when he is angry for me ;-)

You are so good at shots like this Luc.
He looks stern,yet serene.Puts me in mind of the old nursery rhyme....
A wise old owl sat in an oak.
the more he heard,the less he spoke,
the less he spoke,the more he heard,
why can't we be like that wise old bird ?

Great portrait, Luc. The owls still evades me. I'd love a capture like this. The eyes are piercing. Lovely colors and details. The ear tuffs are a bit soft, is it from blurring?

Still a excellent capture. Well done.

Owls make great portraits and this one is no exception. Good quality. Does it always frown or is it something you did?

What a serious looking fellow Luc. He's not too happy with you. Good capture, well done.

Excellente prestation, mon ami. Je ne trouve rien à redire... juste dire un grand merci. Pourtant, des points ressortent: la grande utilité didactique de la comparaison avec l'image originelle et aussi des renseignements techniques dans ta note. Très bonne gestion de la couleur (même le blanc du menton n'est pas brûlé). De la bonne ouvrage comme tu accomplis toujours. J'ai hâte de voir ta photo de demain.

Luc, I like this slightly superior POV/angle that helps to lock-down the stare & connect with the viewer instantly! Very good details seen in the eyes & face..Great note with links...Nicely framed, Well done!

Nice one, Luc. It's the look my cat gives me when he want to fight. It's amazing how cats and Owls have that look.
Excelent capture and details. Well done on this composition.

My Friend
I do not get time to look around TN for a couple of days, and you go and post the most wonderful pictures, mug shots par excellence! and all of them, with ears or "horns" that are extraordinary, from the kitty cat down to this nice owl. He is large enough to eat my owlet posted just now. This is very nice, your photography has improved with leaps and bounds, it is good to see this, and your subject matter is also tops, I love them all, wish I could comment on each one.
This one sure has a problem with the photographer poking the lens into his face, I really like the frown. TFS
