Close-Up Eurasian Eagle Owl with Orange Eyes in Forest

Close-up portrait of a Eurasian Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) in a natural forest setting. Ultra-detailed, photorealistic realism focusing on the owl's striking orange eyes, sharp black pupils, and the intricate pattern of its facial disc. The plumage displays a mix of rich browns, buff, and gray with bold streaks and subtle white throat patch. Soft, golden-hour backlighting filters through pine branches, creating a gentle rim light along the feathers and a shallow depth of field that renders the background into a dreamy bokeh of greens and browns. Ear tufts slightly raised, gaze direct and majestic, conveying quiet power. The scene emphasizes texture: individual feather barbs, tiny catchlights in the eyes, and realistic shading on the beak and cere. Composition: tight head-and-shoulders shot with a slight head tilt to reveal a symmetric facial disk. Mood: serene, awe-inspiring, natural habitat.
