Description
This is a tiny bird shot on a bad weather day without flash.So the lens was at 2,8 and the DOF was tiny, hence all the unsharpness in the feathers in the back is from the DOF and not from some unkind editing.
The Pallid Scops Owl (Otus brucei) is a small Scops Owl ranging from the Middle East to West and Central Asia, sometimes called the Striated Scops Owl.

Um es mal mit den Worten der kleinen Agnes aus Despicable Me: "It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!!!"
Durch den unscharfen Hintergrund wirkt das Bild umso besser. Es zieht sich quasi nach vorne, wodurch die Eule richtig schΓΆn im Zentrum steht und damit nicht nur rΓ€umlich, sondern auch motivisch.

Great picture, i think the DOF is different, but nice!

Thanks
As it is a tiny bird and it is prohibitive to use a flash with an owl and their light sensitive eyes, I used a wide open lens to get enough light for the shot. A low aperture obviously means then with such a tiny creature a low DOF.
