Arash,
I think this is my favorite! The delicate flowers at the bottom of the frame and the superb look at the feet elevate this image to the top of the heap. I also how the eye is looking right at you. The BG looks like a painting. My only little nit is the diagonal line in BG to left of owl. I would be tempted to fill it in to level it. The IQ makes me want to reach out and touch the feathers. I like the layered effect of the feathers on the belly.
10 out of 10 on this one!

The link to your attachment 107415.
Beautiful capture! I love the eye, and also find the few dead flowerheads in focus to be quite interesting and add some nice texture to the image.
Hi Arash. Nice shot of this beautiful bird. I like dried flower heads at the bottom and the buff-colored background.
Wow . A killer images
This is a fabulous moment Arash and I bet you wish it was looking at you so both eyes were visible. The background is great and I’ll let my mind say there is a hill so the horizon is fine. Have you added the dot in the eye for the catch light look? While it might be real, I would expect it closer to the nose. Your exif shows ISO 800 and you posted 1600, oops :-} Your feather detail is great and you might want to frame this one.<o:p></o:p>

Superb action, love the eye and the detail of whites on the face, love the wings, the talons, beautiful background. Perfect shot!
Simply terrific, Arash. Love the dynamic pose with the dangling feet, the claws, the fanned tail and the wing blur. IQ superb as usual. That eye is captivating. I especially love the delicate flowers at the bottom. I'd move him just a bit more to the right if possible.
Congrats on this capture. Hope to see this specie some day.
Maybe my personal favorite of all your posts, Arash.
The one visible eye is more unique than two, some habitat and all the usual great techs.
Just superb.
An impressive owl. Lovely image, light and killer BG.
This is beautiful. I love the way the background is blurred and runs from soft dried flowers at the bottom to blue sky at the top. Great feet and love that he is coming at you.
Thank you for the nice comments! I appreciate it
Arash
incredible image, even better than that with the foreground flowers, looks totally stunning, and then there's the eye, I think you are speaking with these owls
Arash, This is an awesome image... Exposure on head and chest is perfect with stunning eye contact... Those large talon's are huge... The background adds a wonderful mood to the image.
Killer image! Light, sharpness, exosure are great! Plants at the bottom add a lot IMO. Won't mind seeing somemore room on the left.
this is total winner arash amazing IQ, light catchlight flowers at the bottom..amazing..
A very nice one. I might be tempted to clone out the OOF head flowers on the rght side of the claws though.
This is one of your best yet. Excellent pose , love the dangling legs and the head turn.

Like it? I love it. Did He only have one eye?:w3
Bravo...The best of the Snowy's so far! The eye is amazing and the pose is so different but so good!
Hi Ari, great banking and approach capture, and I do like the show of the wings. That eye stands out so well, and overall, good sharp detail.
Arash:
A lovely picture, the plants add a lot, very interesting pose, soft BG.
Def. a winner. I wish the other eye was visible, but it works well with one.
I would try a version with more space added to the left and a matching crop from the right.
This is Art for me.
Cheers

Thank you all for nice comments, I wish there was more canvas to the left but this was almost FF shot with no more room.
Excellent image Arash! I like the sharpness, details, eye and dead flower heads.
Hi Arash,
superb flight image I simply love the look he gave you :-)
