Hello Hive account@juliank, Hive account@photocontests and Steem friends,

Here is my entry in the animal photography category... I'm not sure if birds of prey qualify. I hope you like it anyway : ) A Great Horned Owl is a reclusive, majestic bird and this one was so expertly camouflaged it took a good deal of teasing him out in post processing. If not for the amazing censor in the camera, we would have a hard time seeing him at all!
