Northern Saw-whet Owl

[Glenn Bartley]

I had a very neat opportunity the other night to photograph this cute little owl. I havent seen too many shots of this species at night so I thought I'd post this one.

All the best!

That is one striking graphical representation! I think it would be even stronger if the upper twig is removed, either by cropping or cloning.

Agreed.  Great capture.  My roomate in grad school worked on Saw-whets...

It is indeed a stunning shot. I disagree about the upper branch (it looks a bit big to be described as a twig!). I think it frames the subject rather nicely.

I agree with the above. The branch (not twig) frames the subject; otherwise there'd be too much dead space and not enough owl.

That is a c=very striking shot, really good!

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Another great shot. I agree with Jeremy and John: Leave the upper branch in.
