Short eared owl

AllC&C welcome

Evidence of processing left side and bottom. I would remove or soften the diagonal in the background. Wish that the fore-wing was more extended. Sharpness, colors, eye, excellent.

Exposure is spot on. You have a lot of details, light was good and while I would prefer a better near wing pose, I feel that overall this is a really nice photo.

I agree with Grace but everything else is spot on. Nice picture.

Gorgeous light and nice sharpness. Processing artifact is visible in the LLC. I do wish for a slight head turn towards us.

I agree with the above comments. I have really enjoyed seeing your owl images. TFS them.

Yes, it seems like you did some cloning on the right side, but still, it is a very good image with golden light and great details. A little head turn towards you would have been great though. Well done, Jon.

Wow very nice pose, and lighting! Great image!

Jonathan:
Very nice composition,nice lights and beautiful flight pose.Great exposure and IQ.I like the placement of owl in the frame.
Love the frame.

Ditto on Grace's comments. Gotta love the very sharp eye and fine detail.

Great light and detail on the owl.

I agree the IQ, eye and the light are perfect. Just that little bit of processing on the lower left corner needs to be corrected....

I like the sharpness, details, light, exposure and composition. A few touch ups and you have a real beauty. Excellent image Jonathan.

Excellent flight pose and sharp details.

I agree - very careless of me! A soon as I looked last time I saw the artefact, I had recropped for composition and used content aware fill in, so chuffed with the bird I forgot to check the seems!
