Wow !

This is a wonderful photo. I take many photo's of Owls in the Canadian Shield and Boreal Forest and I'm envious of this photo.

Unfortunately we don't have any Barn Owls in the part of Canada that I live....winters are too cold. But we do have Great Greys, Great Horned, Barred, Snowy Whites, etc.

Getting a photo of a Barn Owl is on my lifer list.

Again...just an excellent photo.

Stellar shot. The backlighting is icing on a very nice cake.

Beautiful execution given that opportunity Rob. We should all be so lucky.
I've always loved the Barn Owl face and it's indeed special when it's coming right at you.
