a baby long-eared owl in our wildlife care center.

...i was taking several, a lot, 'serious' shots of this baby, without being really satisfied..finally tried this framing, just for fun - and it kept me laughing for quite a while...

..keep smiling :)

That's a cute one. I'm not sure about the framing, but the subject is priceless. It likely has the most beautiful eyes on TL. :) I think the aperture could have been just a bit smaller.

Bonsoir Carole,

Hi Carole,
Absolutely brilliant, so funny. Having him tucked into the bottom corner is just perfect.
Those eyes remind me of Puss in boots from Shrek.
Cheers,
Peter.

But what you have done poor creature!!!! I bet you have dazzled with your Flash until exhausted and remained with eyes wide open........
joking apart beautiful framing WITH THE BACKGROUND right and great definitions. excellent work Carole

Hi Carole

Beautiful shot, I know as you had to spend his time, for this shot, because other day I tried with a big owl and gave a good work to get a beautiful close. I adored expression, I don't know if it is of fright, curiosity or finding strange that whole scene.
Great shot, beautiful visual!
Congratulations

Sérgio

Ah - bless him - little chap!!
Again - I think you have captured the character of the creature so well - you have a real talent for it :)
Truely excellent cropping!!
Really funny shot - I'm going to make it a favourite!

hi carole :)

this is, indeed, the funniest photo i've seen in a long time :)

the frame is very interesting, with how the baby owl is cornered and the blurred background is dominant... makes it all the more funny, as though the owl is innocently complaining about being left out of the frame :)

i smiled looking at this one, and am very happy to see the response it generated :)

thank you for the smile :)

take care and have a splendid day :) full of smiles :)

He looks like Foo peering over the fence. I love those big eyes Carole. Nicely composed, looks like he is leaning against the frame. TFS,

Bonjour Carole,
Encore une belle photo de votre refuge animalier. Outre la qualité de l'image, je remarque que vous avez très bien tiré parti du regard carctéristique des rapaces nocturnes pour cadrer la photo de façon originale et la légender en fonction. Avec un peu d'imagination, on peut dire que chaque animal raconte une histoire. C'est à nous de la mettre en image. C'est réussi!
Cordialement
Jean-Michel

Salut Carole,
Excellent ;oD
Le fait que la tête soit légèrement inclinée, associée à ce regard... C'est tout simplement bien saisi.
Merci pour ce bon moment qui, comme beaucoup d'entre nous, me fait bien rire.
Tu as une superbe galerie, je vais garder un oeil dessus
Bonne journée

Karèle
