Deep in sleep :). It is so well camouflaged with the tree branch, that is difficult to sight. I would have liked just a bit more space at the bottom. Thanks for sharing.

Some more contrast will be better.

Since it is sleeping in daylight, a flash won't create much of problems. Else in the evening when the light is low its eyes get dilated and flashlights will harm it.

Owls are such natural camouflage experts.This one looks like an extension of the tree itself.Nice capture.Thanks for sharing
