This is fantastic. Beautiful light. Soft feather details. Background. Pose. The prey item and dangling feet. All just great. Congrats.

Pretty cool shot Sasan, where was it taken? Nice overall colour palette too.

Certainly I've never seen a LO take what appears to be a sparrow, more voles, interesting.

Excellent skill here! dangling feet, feathers on talons, HA, BBG and those lovely wings, super frame!

[Tim Foltz]

Super shot, prey is a bonus, nice BG and just enough wing blur to show motion.

pretty nice shot Sasan, the prey and its dangling feet (what was it?) is the icing on the cake, sweet BG too, the colors are a bit muted you can add some warmth and saturation to bring it to life

Yes, this is a great shot as already seen on IG! Agree that you could brighten the image and saturate/warm it a bit to make it really pop.

Thanks Sasan, behaviour certainly for me is unique, mine have taken on a Kestral, but that's about it, as for their food, all I have seen has been, Earthworms, Beetles, Grubs, Snails and small mammals

Just WOW Sasan! I would add a bit of blacks to the neutrals in selective coloring. The image seems a bit washed out but other than that you have a superb image here,

Hi Gail and thanks for your comment

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

Amazing shot. I adore owls a lot and Like this image a lot.

The prey adds to the image, as well as the eye contact.

Thanks for sharing.

[Glenn Conlan]

Wow, you have a winner here this is absolutely stunning, with prey!

[Arthur Morris]

Wow indeed. It looks great to me. Did you see the owl capture the bird?

with love, artie
