I was lucky to meet some sleeping birds early morning

Well seen and captured David. What species of owl are they?

[Marwus]

Thank you Len. It is Tawny owl. Luckily they already could fly and parents was not around. I later found that they can be extremely protective and attack also humans.

Great image David. Love the subject and capture.

Very nice! I would consider cropping to make the birds take up more of the frame.

Lucky, indeed. Just lovely, David.

David, very nice photo.

David, a very good capture!

The owls look like they're propping each other up or perhaps keeping each other warm.

I saw Dan's suggestion about possibly cropping the image a bit tighter. I'm of two minds. The image you uploaded gives a good sense of the owls' habitat. A tighter image would place more emphasis on just the birds. Perhaps it just depends on what you want the overall impression to be.

[Marwus]

Thank you all for replies. I tried also closer crop but it was not working well. Picture looked flat without depth behind owls.

just to add to the thread...
FANTASTIC.

p.s. I think the environment/trees are perfect as is.

Nice catch

I love that; were there a possibility that you could step on to the other side and capture the other two faces without disturbing the combination?

[Marwus]

Thank you all for comments.
