Mihail:

Very cooperative owl to let you in so close!
Strong light, but well exposed. I would be tempted to try and very subtly lighten the shadows on the eye.
Depending on what is available, I could see a slightly looser crop.

Cheers

They were very close. In three cedar trees I discovered about ten pieces. They rested branches to a height of about 3,5-4,5 meters.
More surprising is that those trees are right in the middle of my town but in a quiet area without car traffic.
Last year, in December, I counted 29 of these cute birds in a nearby chestnut.

I saved your idea, I will try a remedy.

Thanks for visiting, all the best!
