Bedraggled
I’m not really sure what this Ural Owl (strix uralensis) had been up to, but he sure looks like he could do with a hairdryer.

Owls do not do well in the wet. Great shot Krys.

Poor soggy little thing. At least it stood stock still for its portrait. Nice clarity on this image.
Dusker
Oh, poor little fellow; he does look as though he needs some tender loving care. He looks a little like my sister’s (chijude) little dog when she gets a bit damp; or my cat when the dog has given him a good licking. Great photo

I am smiling,. I was just about to type in how I was reminded of my little dog ‘ChiChi when she was looking a bit rumpled and then read up further the commnent from my sister Dusker!! Many years ago my family decided I collected owls … I would be happy to add this little chap, but not as a collectable on a shelf. Very appealing.

Thank you for your nice comment! ;o)

Gosh, just looks at those eyes…what a cracker of a shot!
Richard G Witham
Wow; he’s having a bad hair day, or perhaps he’s making a statement? This could be one of those radical, leading edge owls that doesn’t conform to the fluffy feather society :)
Wonderful photography Krys. The color and fine detail along with the reflection in the eyes are superb!
Imber
What a amazing portrait!
Shaun Whiteman
Beautiful shot of a stunning looking owl!
Alison Cornfor...

Bonnie T. Barry
Love that red eyeliner! Makes me think he’s just had a good cry and needs a hug in his “bedraggled” state of mind!
Bonnie T. Barry
Oh, forgot to mention the most important thing! Another Krys Bailey masterpiece to add to the already impressive collection! Superb! I think you should include these remarkable bird images in a book dedicated to reading the heart through the eyes and the face!
