Young Long-eared Owl in the Evening Sun – A Serene Bird Portrait with Spread Wings | Owl Photography by Hilde Remerie – Digital Art, Bauhaus & Photography

‘Young Long-eared Owl in the Evening Sun’ is an atmospheric bird portrait of a young long-eared owl stretching out in the warm light of the evening sun. The owl spreads its wings and fluffs up its feathers, capturing a special moment in nature. The combination of movement and stillness gives the photograph a natural and almost tranquil feel.

The soft evening light creates warm highlights in the young long-eared owl’s plumage. Brown, bronze, taupe and beige are combined with olive green, green and navy blue. The natural colour palette lends the photograph a serene quality and ensures that the bird stands out beautifully against its surroundings.

It is precisely the timing that makes this nature photograph special. The young long-eared owl appears to have been captured in the midst of a subtle movement: wings raised, feathers stretched out and fully present in the moment. This lends the image a sense of freedom and natural power, without the photograph becoming jarring.

This owl photography is ideal for lovers of birds, long-eared owls and atmospheric nature photography. Thanks to the muted colours, the piece complements a natural, rustic, Scandinavian or modern interior beautifully. Wood, beige, taupe, green and other earthy tones blend well with the photograph’s colour palette.

In a living room, bedroom, study or quiet reading nook, this portrait of a young bird can serve as a subtle yet characterful touch of nature. The image brings the atmosphere of a quiet moment outdoors in the evening into the home.

‘Young Long-eared Owl in the Evening Sun’ is part of a series in which the same young owl is captured at different moments. This piece can also be beautifully combined with the matching image from the series, in which the two owls appear to be moving towards each other.
