Great Horned Owl Portrait in a Moonlit Boat
About This Owl Boat Portrait
A closer look at the subject, style and details in this image.
A great horned owl perches inside a tiny weathered rowboat on still forest water, its folded wings close to its body and talons gripping the worn wooden seat. The moon reflects beneath the boat as fireflies dot the distant trees.
Painterly wildlife realism and an old-master composition give the scene a mysterious, composed mood rather than a frightening one. Its unusual scale and quiet setting suit a fantasy book cover or an atmospheric wildlife poster.
