Magnificent bird. Looks like its perched in a sycamore tree on a cold winter day.

Doug,

Wonderful capture, my friend!

Not only the bird but also the fruit hanging on the tree!

I commend you for your discipline in carefully post processing this file. It’s at the limits of natural appearance and not over saturated and structurally enhanced as one might be so tempted. The creature has evolved to be camouflaged and you didn’t undoectgst!


My first time reading of “GHO shot“! What’s it stand for?

When I saw this image, at first I found it was blurred and somewhat pixelated…
But when one click on it, the new window opens it at the original scale it was posted, and the picture is more than fine…
Because the forum software by default enlarge the picture to the full width of the window.
This should not be a behavior by default. This might be the result of the developper thinking that only smartphones do visit fora… Not my case!
If this cannot be resolved in the admin console, note that if when once an image is post, one reduces manually its size (by dragging one corner) the image won't appear full width…

Like this:

@Asher Kelman, imho "GHO" stands for "Great Horned Owl"

@Don Ferguson Jr. great catch!
