Peacful little owl

I found this little guy sitting in a tree,spent a few min snapping pics of him while he patiently stared at me.The lighting was not good,so I did the best I could with post processing...

Looks fantastic to me. Love the details.

What a lucky catch. You got a great shot of him.

Excellent shot I say . So jealous I don't even have a crappy pic of this GHO

Nice shot! Hard to find these guys in the daytime.

The only thing that I think I would change is a little bit up selective burning on its back to up the contrast. Kinda looks a little washed out to me. The face is perfect.

Great shot, but a little fill would brighten his face and put a catchlight in his eyes.

nice job on the owl

Thanks for the comments,the lighting was really tough,he was in the shade and the background was fairly bright,try as I may,this is the best my Photoshop skills can do.He was actually upright looking down at me,that's why his face is in focus but his body is not,I really had no other option but shoot him from that angle.Shot at f4 using a 300mm f/4 IS.
