Alert Owl

A typical habitat image of the SEO in Kutch. This is the way they hide themselves during the day from the heat for a nap.

Lovely stare. Good you could get the eyes in clear. Is this full frame? Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful picture. The colour of the grass around must help in camouflaging.

I like their eyes. Tough scene due to foreground and background vegetation. Wish you had a narrow aperture. There are some artifacts. So you need to relook at your processing & sharpening. Did you hear its call? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
