Awesome photography must make a profile on website called YouPic and get more awards and more viewers

Great capture and composition. I'm jealous. I wonder if it would be easier to make out the prey if the shot wasn't monochrome. If you have a colour version, I'd like to see it. :-)

Description
This was quite a day. This Barred Owl is known to be seen in this public park once in a while. That morning I walked into the woods to discover a headless rabbit on the ground. I was suspecting the owl was not too far away. So I searched around for around 15 minutes and did not see it. I went back to see if the rabbit was still there but it was gone. As I looked very far away in the woods I saw something moving but thought it was a crow that had just pushed away a hawk. I went to check it out anyway just in case. I am glad I did, this is what I first saw, this Barred Owl with the rabbit.
