      Good!

      It’s a bit paradoxical trying to show off all these owls. On one hand, we want to see all of their awesome physical features and their beautiful patterns. When they stand out in the pictures, they are simply amazing looking animals.

      At the same time, part of what makes them so cool to many of us is we know they are the ninja of the bird world. They come silently out of nowhere, take out their target, and disappear back into nothingness. It can be a bit of a challenge though finding a photo of something that has it as both the focal point, yet also shows off just how hard it would be for you to detect it in the wild.

      This photo does a great job showing off both the stealth and beauty of the owl. You know there will be an owl in the photo, and once you do see it, it’s very clear and you can see it in all its details, but you still have a good appreciation of how it looks perfectly designed to be nearly indetectable to any tasty creatures scurrying around along the forest floor.

      It shows of both halves of what we find captivating about owls perfectly.
