A Dusky Close-Up

superbowl is amazing

They're big owls, so they have the size to be both simulatiously. 😀

I love closeups of the face since you get to see those intricate structures of a number of specialized feather types. I think a lot of people think of feathers as feathers, but the body, ear, eyelash, facial disc, and "moustache" feathers are all different to serve different functions.

The blue hues tie them together nicely, while the contrast of a white owl and a charcoal colored one makes both stand out.
