Hello Eric, great looking owl, love a SEO as well. IMO, there are vertical distractions and the two dark areas that make my eye leave the owl. For example, the vertical brush sticks below the owl's right wing can easily be smudged etc, ... A suggestion would be to soften them or stamp or a tighter crop. Looking forward to more!

Your 3d owl is presented in wonderful light. The 2 branches don't bother me, and I think they help balance the frame and gives us an idea of the terrain these birds normally hunt in. Nice! Sharon

Well done Eric the owl really pops against the BG

Beautiful SEO in a very nice flight pose here Eric. The BG is not a distraction at all for me as it shows the natural habitat se well, I like it. Well done.

very nice shot Eric, BG works for me too as it shows elements from the habitat. I might put a bit more room behind the owl

Very special image. It's nice to see the vegetation and the hint of sky. Agree if you have a tad more space on the left it might even be better.
