Well posed with a good BG. The bush to the left gives a sense of environment and fills what would otherwise be dead space. The owl seems to be looking down his nose at the viewer. This conveys certain a certain "feel" about the image which some viewers might not like. If you have more room, I would add some more canvas at the top. Overall, well done. :)

Great angle, setting and details. I would give it more room all around.

Love it as presented, I just don´t get tired of these birds! Congratulations! Great exposure, ambient, colors, pose, comp and detail.

Bird and composition are appealing. Maybe it's my monitor, but the image has a slight bluish-gray cast to it IMHO. ;-)

Ditto Axel and wish that those big yellow eyes were open wider. I for one could do without the bush.
