Spotted Eagle Owl

[Gavin Slabbert]

Just returned from Kruger National Park in South Africa where I managed to shoot this Spotted Eagle owl.

I have been diligently working through Art's tutorials and would appreciate it if you would honestly let me know how I am doing.

TIA

Is this image so bad that no one is prepared to pass an opinion, suggestions or review on it. :-(
