Bad Feather Day

A fun shot of a Eurasian Eagle Owl taking off from an electricity pole in heavy rain in Korea. I think it was extremely annoyed at having to move, and it kept a glaring eye on me through its soggy fringe as it lumbered off. Sorry owl, you’re a magnificent bird, and I have posted a shot of your handsome self in the past, but this one kind of fits the bill here.

Specific Feedback Requested

As I say, it’s a fun shot - the bird is very soft, but it was heavy rain and I was just firing away as it flew quickly past.

Definitely a bad hair day, Mike. I can almost feel the rain from the look of the owls feathers. He doesn’t look very happy about the rain…still a fun capture for you.

Wonderful!! The treatment fits the humorous subject! He does look irritated. This one gives me my morning smile!
