Blending in

Uploaded: November 04, 2012

Description

It's important to pay attention when you're out looking for owls. Good colors for them, but not for me, if I want them to stand out. But you can't tell an owl where to sit.

Great Horned Owl.

Oh, does he ever! What a beautiful capture - I believe the mere fact that his colors blend in so well with his background is what makes this capture so very eye-appealing. A great (but difficult to spot, for sure) find, Eivor! :) #10430956

Sometimes we have to take what we get. But you did not let that stop you. You got this beautiful picture of this most incredible bird and the fact that your clarity is so perfect, you bring out colors and details that make this such a beauty. Congratulations on yet another Finalist my friend. Good to see your works again. Been way to long. Have a great day. #10487799
