Oh, those eyes! 2

I quite like this version with background grain softened.

A barking owl: makes and responds to a soft, low "woof-woof" call.
Shot in heavy shade while the owl was being shown around on a ranger's gloved hand,
so I used continuous mode at high ISO for the fastest possible exposure without flash.

Territory Wildlife Park, Berry Springs, NT, Australia

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX
1/320s f/8.0 at 55.0mm iso1600 full exif

Jeepers peepers! VERY nice work Brian; and, I think this B&W version probably captures the defining moment better than the color image. There is aways a choice in art - this is a wonderful example. g
