Beautiful little buggers they are are'nt they?

Nicely done. What is that hazy stuff in the last one?

Hi Geoff. Thanks for viewing. Tey are really differente ones, although all being owls. Regards...

Hello, Bobo, and thanks for viewing.

Regarding the last one, as mentioned in the original post, the owls were too far and they were under a kind of shelter, hidden from light, while I was under the sun, so there was a lens glare and I had to bump the "fill light" too much, affecting the final result. I just included it to show a different kind of owl, as, despite of the bad image quality, I liked their expression a lot! They look so friendly!

Kindest regards.

Very nice series.

I love that owls have their own fatial expressions between types. You have caught each well. A fun series.

[Otavio]

Thanks John. I appreciate your feedback! Best regards.

Great facial expressions, Otavio. However, I'm really missing the detail in the feathers that I think you could probably bring out using post-processing techniques. Consider starting with the dark areas and lifting them.

I llike the portrait style shots. Very well presented.... wish I could find some owls around here. I can call in a couple of great horned owls but only after dark.
