Good take.

Nice shot of this owl, but overall it has only loose connections to the theme of Darkness.

Not dark enough for this challenge in my opinion

When first viewed, there was a vague feeling that something wasn't right. On the third look, it became apparent that the head and throat were moving creating a slightly out of focus look that wasn't complimentary to the rest of the image by comparision to the detail of the still tree. Additionally, the lighting isn't the best, but that is probably the result of a overly bland indirect instead of direct lighting.

Yes, it is normally dark...........
However, this photo, while technically an alright photo of an owl, struggles to really connect me to the challenge topic. The entire image is too light. It looks to have been taken in the day. The colours do not contrast enough, with the owl's head merging into the surrounding tree. The crop also doesn't work for me. Tight around the bird and quiet narrow, it just seems awkward
