They are all rendered at your usual spectacular level but the Barred Owl is absolutely as good as it gets!

As some of you may be aware, I'm working on my next book. The hardest part is always choosing the images. Not only do I have to decide what species I wish to include but also in what format. There will be some birds that are barely visible in a landscape setting and others that will be in flight over chosen bodies of water, fields or forests.
To give the book impact, some of the pictures will be extreme close ups. I like the idea of the reader getting a surprise when they turn a page and a pair of eyes is staring at them from inches away after they've just been lulled by a tranquil view of a meadow.
Here are some of the images that will make it. I hope you'll agree I'm on the right path.
All of these birds are wild. None of the birds were captive nor where the pictures taken at a rehabilitation center.
Not that I see anything wrong with that practice, it's just that I don't do it.

Side note: I'm not pitching a book. My books are not for sale. In case anyone wonders.

Wow, you are such an awesome wildlife photographer! Your photos never cease to amaze me. You sure can tell the love you have for every subject you photograph. Your legacy will certainly carry on with the care you take of putting together photo books for your family. :D

I'd be happy to have taken any of them, since I'm not very good at birds. But I think the woodpecker and the owl are stunning.
