KO! Love the colours and the pose, background idyllic, the eyes mesmerising! The only suggestion I would have would be to move the owl very slightly to the right.

Cool frame like those eyes nice light as well.

Pretty sweet. Love the BG in this series. Great matching catchlights and excellent processing. Great look at the feather detail on the topside. Arash, question if you don't mind -- about what percentage do you crop your IF images if you have a general rule / aim when you do the initial capture. TFS

I love this Arash.
Perfect HA and love the topside view. IQ is excellent as always
I would take a sliver off the RHS,

Another killer frame from your outing with the Shorties. I'm fine with it as framed.

[Arthur Morris]

What's not to like? I love that facial disk and those sharp eyes.

with love, artie

Really beautiful work, Arash. The turned head tops it off. Fabulous tones, colours, background and IQ. I wondered if a slightly tighter crop would give it even more impact?

[William Dickson]

The HA makes this frame. Very nicely captured.

Hi Alex, I get what I can and in this case this was 40% of the original capture.
