Illustration or photograph? This phenomenal image has all of the detail that an artist imparts into a pen & ink drawing.

Magnificent photo of a magnificent animal.
I'd love to see some details about how you captured it.
The intensity of the gaze, the DOF, the clarity and the maginficent wing span all make for an oustanding image. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the comments. It was captured with a Nikon D90 & 70-300mm lens. 1/1600 sec, f/5, ISO 400. The light was good, but I bumped the ISO to maintain a higher shutter speed.Magnificent photo of a magnificent animal. I'd love to see some details about how you captured it.

What was the owl doing before it took flight? How far away were you when you first spotted it?

Frank, that's brilliant. Are the glaring red eyes like that or is the saturation boosted? Here in Australia I'm not sure we have anything that compares with those eyes.

Those eyes are a real bright orange. They are absolutely beautiful.

Outstanding! And not the first amazing owl shot youve posted here. Thanks for sharing. I cant even see an owl, much less take an awesome photo on one like this.
