This is perhaps the most dramatic of the owls. This is the second time I was able to photograph one. Last year a portrait of this owl was instrumental in having several very nice articles and references written about TPJphoto.

This is a young bird just reaching the adult coloring.

The photograph above is from a shoot in November 2016. This was also the web sites cover image until changed to the newer April 2017 photograph.
Spectacular shots, Ted!
Thank you very much. We received great press for them π
.. gorgeous
Thanks. This owl is one of my favorite subjects for portraits.
Unique …love the expression
Wow! These are excellent.
Thank you so much. I love this bird. Curious about what is happening around him and it shows. The photographs have been really well received, the original shoot was written about a few times, good reviews, and the images used for various projects. As they age the coloring keeps changing so the next shoot should be interesting.
Wow, beautiful shots. π
Thanks. I love to do Owl portraits. But it’s not something you can do very often.
And rightly so. Beautiful picture. Congrats.
Thank you so much πππ
