This Owl "siao" liao. Standing in the hot sun at noon.


This photo Taken with my 17-40. BTW can you spot the Owl?



This photo Taken very far away, add in Warming filter to enhance the sun's effect.




This photo was heavily edited. Removes a lot of branches and even made the sky blue.





Hope you like them.

Good shot of it with wide-angle too.

Btw, maybe the Owl also think that we "siao" too, carrying heavy stuff and eating under the scorching sun... hehehe

The facial disc helps to funnel the sound of prey to their ears. This is the original one, not PSed OK.
