I believe this is the same Owl I shot this summer (http://www.zeissimages.com/showphoto.php?photoid=11331) Where have You meet her and other birds? :) You shot her so close...nice picture :)
I work in a lab and see more pictures of flowers and sunsets than I ever wanted to see in life. My overall feeling is that if I never see another picture of a flower I will be happy. This photograph, however, is exquisitely produced. Good composition, perfect color and of course, very crisp detail. It makes me think I'm standing in the garden with you when you shot this.
Nicely photographed, by the way. Thanks for posting it.
