the focus on this owl is perfect. I'd prefer not to have the distraction of the handler in the background, but it's actually somewhat complimentary, Well done to you.

Yeah, I just about fainted when I saw her. I must have taken twenty photos; luckily, her handler was very patient and accommodating. ^^'

Haha, the thought of you almost fainting is rather amusing. I'm glad her handler was so patient. Did the owl get a lot of photos taken of her, or was it just you? Ever thought of having an owl accompany any of your OS-tans?

Hehe. There weren't many other photographers there; maybe one or two, and they'd left by the time I started snapping shots.

One of my friend's OS-tans, an Acorn-tan (I forget which model), has an owl as a pet; as for my own designs, Unix-sama's anthropomorphism/totem is supposed to be an owl. Hence her glaring, intelligent eyes and horned owl ears (and occasional wings). ^^'

Ha, ha, I see. I guess it was a good thing that there weren't too many other photographers there. I don't think birds would be too fond of staring at dangerously bright camera flashes all the time. She probably wouldn't understand what was happening and might have gotten agitated an a little frightened. Did you ever find out what her name was?

Aha, so that's what inspired Unix-sama. She's an owl girl. I knew that there was *something* up with her character design, because I've seen the "owl ears" and her different eyes, but I didn't quite know what it was and didn't really have any guesses. It's also cute that your friend's Acorn-tan has an owl as a pet, but Acorn isn't ringing too much of a bell for me right now.

I know that there was something to do with computers called Acorn or maybe ACORN, but I can't remember anything about it. >_<;

I love great horned owls, they're the coolest. Wish I could see one...I hear one once in a while in mid-winter. Or a barred owl. Owls are rare here in general now. A pity. This is a great shot...the bird looks focused, like it's glaring at someone

I've only seen one owl in the wild, unfortunately; all the others have been in captivity. I don't see many birds of prey in general around my area, maybe I just haven't been looking hard enough. Hope you have better luck in spotting some, though!

Thank you! This bird was a really awesome subject to work with.

Me too! Owls are one of my favourite birds, and this fellow was especially beautiful. (Although... IIRC... this may have been a female.)
