I have many Great Horned Owl photos, and everyone has their favorite. This one with the blue-green leaves of the eucalyptus tree creates a wonderful background and allows for the contrast necessary to make the owl stand out. Owls are one of my favorite birds to photograph. If they are partially hidden by leaves or branches, "forget-about-it," because unlike other birds they are not likely to move for quite a while. But, occasionally they are out in the open where a picture is possible. They look at you with those big brown and gold eyes as if they were as interested in you as you are in them. Then, he turns and looks away as if to say, "Actually, you're no big deal" or as we'd say in Jersey, "Forget-About-It."
