Of the beholder, and right you are. Just look at those eyes. Captivating! Even with a flash it truly catches my eyes. Great! Posted 13 years ago

  Thanks Ludo. I was sitting about one meter from this owl with full focal length for several minutes waiting for it to open its eyes. Then a very loud kid ran by that triggered this response. Posted 13 years ago

Give the kid an icecream:) And eat one yourself for all your patience! It was well worth it. Posted 13 years ago
