Humans may have camera filters, timers, and extendable arms, but owls still take better selfies.

On Friday, Reddit power user GallowBoob posted this picture of an adorably off-kilter burrowing owl—and his unamused friend—to the Photoshop Battles community:

If you’re not familiar with Photoshop Battles, here’s how they work: A random photo is presented. Anybody in the community can participate. All you need to do is edit the image as you please and submit it in the comments section.

(And if you’re not familiar with owls, here’s how they work.)

The Photoshopping started small. Reddit user MISTABIGNASTY imagined the lead owl just struggling to see himself in the mirror:

“He’s just a little too short.” (Reddit user MISTABIGNASTY)

Meanwhile, user twosquaredskin saw something bigger on the horizon:

(Note: While the best part of Photoshop Battles will always be the pictures, sometimes the usernames of the redditors submitting them are a very close second.)

The original poster, GallowBoob, imagined the poor owl just trying to catch a flight:

While another seasoned Photoshop vet, workingat7, showed the owls after landing—on Mars.

Redditor jskoker revealed the previous tenants of the owls’ underground home:

While user AlphaBoner imagined a different actor crawling out of the hobbit hole…

“A wild Danny DeVito has been spotted.” (Reddit user AlphaBoner)

Another notable animated gif came from user mouthsmasher, who proved that the only bird with a more fearsome stare than the owl… is the Crowe.

User Facerless subtly tweaked the background to turn these birds into escaped cons (perhaps on the run after being sentenced for fowl play?):

These jailbirds will have to solve the mystery themselves to find out “hoo” really murdered their friend. (Reddit user Facerless)

But before the Battle was over, redditor admancb took the Photoshoppers back to school with the most upvoted post—showing how these owls ruined Pajama Kid‘s new yearbook photo:

His mom got Picture Day mixed up with Bring-Your-Owl-to-School Day. (Reddit user admancb)
