Collared scops owl

[Bhargava Srivari]

Image made in Pench, in Nov'11.

I personally like the heart shape of the hollow inside which the bird is resting. Somehow, I hadn't noticed the noise in the BG at the time of editing!

f7.1, 1/320sec, ISO 400, EV +0.7, 400mm, cropped.

Agree the heart shape of the bark looks nice. The light seems good. Wish there were more details in the bark and the bird. How far was it? Thanks for sharing.
