[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I went to my local Wetlands centre to take shots of ducklings and found they were having a small display of hawks and owls. This is a curious Little Owl. These are Britains smallest owl. Little owls have a wingspan of 54-58cm and are 21-23cm long

Karan,
Awesome portrait of this Pygmy Owl! Great eye contact. The shallow DOF gave you a great BG and the focus was spot-on. These are beautiful birds of prey and you presented it well.
Nice work,

Hi Hester
I am amazed and in awe when I see shots like these where you look like you were face to face. I have yet to master my lens.
Wonderful shot of this bird, the eyes and the feathers are so
sharp you feel you want to reach out and make sure it is real.
