Captured this owl from a boat in the cypress swamps of Lake Caddo, Texas. Used the better breamer flash and a monopod with the 400mm. C&C welcome.

I like the shot, the grays and brown colors blend well with the owl.

Nice one. They do blend in, even in our kind of woods up here they are hard to spot.

Photographs are records of life. Pity they don't make music when you put them in a record player. :p

Beautiful shot Rathke, I love Owls, and with this one the environ you captured works well, If this was mine I'd be hanging it. I'm jealous. ;)

Thank you everyone for your comments. I was thrilled to encounter this wonderful owl in this really cool environment. Here are two more from the same perch. Having trouble deciding on favorite.
