The photo was taken at the River Trail Nature Center in Northbrook, Illinois. The owl had been injured and would not survive being in the wild so it was kept as an exhibit in the nature center.I used ACDSee Ultimate 10.4 to adjust the lighting and boost the contrast and vibrance.

I love all types of owls, they are all beautiful.
I really like them also. I have a bunch of photos of a Snowy Owl that I originally took on color negative film. Unfortunately I’m having trouble cleaning up the images. As soon as I can get some decent ones, I’ll post them (if I can).
wow this owl has a look of power soo cool!
Owls are great that way. Have you ever seen a Snowy Owl?
So interesting
Thank you, Olga
Beautiful animal! I hope it’s okay now
It seems to be doing just fine. It’s used to people looking at it.
I fear owls. They are associated with evil
Why would they be associated with evil? They keep rodents under control which is a good thing.
This is absolutely beautiful
Thank you, Denny
Beautiful.

Great capture
Thanks, Woody
