The photo shows a young Eagle Owl with its head wet. The owl apparently was unable to take shelter from the bad weather in time. It almost gives him something human.
The image was created during a walk across the Veluwe: a protected nature reserve in the Netherlands. It had rained not long before. When the weather had cleared, I discovered this owl, sitting on a low-hanging branch. I had plenty of time to photograph it. This unexpected encounter was therefore for me a fond memory of a pleasant walk.
This is not a standard owl photo as you so often see. The rain-soaked owl's head adds something extra and everyone will be endeared by it. For that reason, this picture deserves a nice place on your wall.
