Buffy Fish-Owl

[WJT]

I was lucky to come across this classic scene in Java last week. My driver spotted this Buffy Fish-Owl and pulled up for me. I'm not sure what was more impressive; the owl or the tree it was living in, but it made the picture all the more interesting. C&C welcome.

He looks like Yoda from the Star Wars films! Interesting bird and tree.

Wow! I love it! The color of the moss is beautiful, and the texture of the tree & owl are outstanding!

Love that Barbara and you're right That's a great capture Wayne. Glad you managed to lose most of the brighter foliage behind the tree.

[WJT]

Thanks all for your comments. It is a beautiful bird on an equally beautiful tree.

Great image. Would have been easy to miss this, I bet. Good for your driver too!

It looks like it's been up all night partying. Cool image and my first time to see an owl like that. Thanks for sharing!

[WJT]

Yes Mark, it pays to pay a local when your taking photos. They always see more.

Nicely captured. That has to be one of the most interesting perches of all time.

[WJT]

Yes Dan, to looks like it was made especially for a movie set to add drama and improve the scene.

Nice shot! It might be my monitor but the image has a green overcast to it?

[WJT]

I think its just the amount of green in the forrest

Good shot

Have you tried to increase the black point a bit (about 20, so that the shadow becomes dark, and not gray)?

No I haven't, but will do when I get my Aperture fixed. Just using IPhoto at the moment. Can you do it on Photo Shop CC?
