My husband thought this was CGI at first, so I had to see if I could find the original. I found it on his website: (https://stevewoodsphotography.com/)
It's ever-so-slightly off center, and has a bit of the ground in the frame, but I think it's even better. It so much more realistic that way.
The advancement of photography and CGI makes me question so many photos! I'm not a photogrpaher, so I don't always know what is good composition vs done in post vs outright fake, so I pass on a good number of pics if I can't verify they're from an actual photographer.
Since I try to post mainly educational things, I dont want to risk credibility, so it's easier to just pass on something questionable, but if they're real or not, they are some really amazing pictures!
That is truly a superb owl
Yeah it really is superb (and also owl)

Wow, this gallery is amazing. It's crazy how much expression is in some of these.

Thanks for doing the background check. I appreciate it though I didn't consider whether it might be CGI.
I think we found the inspiration for the mandalorian skinny-ships from rebels/mando.
These guys are majestic.
He looks like one of those star wars ships with the wings that rotate around the fuselage.

Short Eared.... I guess...
Short Winged.... No way!
Like a fighter plane
So is he flying normally and rotated his head?
It looks that way, if you look at the tail it is in plane with the wings.
lmao it’s a bird not a plane
No, in the original on the photographer's website you can see the ground at the bottom of the picture which lines up with the owls head not it's wings
