Thanks for looking, all comments are welcome. All the best.

This is absolutely stunning, Giuseppe. Not much else to say. The deails, IQ, light and pose are all top notch. Amazing!

Absolutely! I love the asymmetrical view of the wings -- it's unusual and takes it up a notch from already wonderful.

Beautiful! Love the eyes and the beautiful background. Super work.

So many owl images to sift through if one feels the masochistic urge. Many are antiseptic and boring, but not this one. No no no. This one pops off the screen, it's full of life, it captivates and enchants! Huzzah, etc!

This is fantastic photography..

Just love the angle of this flight pose. You had gorgeous light and BG.

You have nailed this bird perfectly. Some may argue that eye contact would be better...but that would be personal and would have a different emotional content...not better nor worse just different.

One for the wall:)

Thank you all for the feedback.
I'm really glad you like it.
