Sharpness and exposure are great. The head angle throughs me a bit but overall nice photo.

Yves,
This is really nice. I would lighten the owl's right eye to make the yellow brighter. Great BG. One of your nicest images,
Gail

Nice shot Yves. Like Gail I would like to see the other eye brightened. Even at that SS some of the whites are close to hot. Unusual BG, looks like he was in the earths' upper atmosphere.

I agree with the others about the eye, easy fix.
Very interesting BG and neat pose.

[Robert Holguin]

Wonderful shot. I really like the flight pose and excellent two tone background. It really brings out the owl. Agree on the right eye.
Well done.

nice view of the talons, good eye contact and good wing position, I am not crazy about the black BG and wish the right eye was not in the shade.
