These are getting better and better, very nice indeed, my only suggestion tone down the brightness of the left side of the facial disc. Otherwise pretty much spot on and the background is super ideal.

Thanks for the comment ,I see what you mean with the brightness,i have a load of close up images like this but they have not been the shot I was looking for ,saying that it is nice to be so close to them ,this bird had no idea I was photographing it

I like the flight angle, composition and complimentary BG. I agree with toning down the hot spots. Well done Dennis.

I like this image a lot except for the fact that owl's eye is half closed

Nice pose and wing position. The complementary colors look great with the owl.

I agree with Arash about the closed eye. The folds in the eyelid are perfect for a quick clone job if you are into that. I also did a little levels adjustment and lightened the face a bit. I think it helps bring the owl to life. Just a thought for you. Well done
