The last one from my visit to the Barn Owl Centre. The Eagle owl was coming straight towards me, and I have heightened the effect of the eyes by making the whole picture darker, and making a panoramic crop. Imagine being a squirrel and seeing that coming towards you in the twilight!
Best viewed large for maximum effect.

I love it. no nits. Of course, the eyes have it (sorry, I just had to say it before anyone else did). Walk back and forth looking at the image-the eyes follow you (enough of that silly stuff). Thanks for allowing us to view this remarkable photo.

A belter David and a slow enough shutter speed to get some movement in the wings yet keep the eyes sharp
