Great owl portrait, UV. I took a few pictures of an owl at DisneyWorlds' Animal Kingdom, but I doubt it will be as pristine or perfect as this is. I havent' had time to get any of that stuff off my memory cards yet. This is going to be another winner; I can feel it!! #6836309Jean-Pierre Ducondi December 21, 2008
