Great Grey

By csurry  
Another shot taken this week. Would have liked to have uploaded a red deer shot, but not overly happy with them. Was in the "wrong place at the right time" if you know what I mean Smile

So instead a great grey shot, in a style that never does well on ePZ, but I really like.

Lots of character due to the eye contact & that it appears he is peeking out at the viewer. A great great grey image.

Thanks everyone.

This was not the intended shot at this location, but I'd done a similar one before (and indeed after at another tree) and I think it works better on this one

Shame about the tree but I suppose its an imperfect world in which we live.The owl is great (pun unintended) and pleased to make it 30.

I like the OOF tree. It enhances the effect of owls as stealthy predators.

Thanks all, that is indeed the idea Patrick you would never really come across them in the open.

Most shots you see of them in the open hunting in snow are to baited sites.
