    I LOVE it. The white BG adds a mysterious quality and tells the story of the bird's camouflage.

    Sweet shot, Arash. Perfectly exposed as usual. Amazing how they can balance on such a thin perch. There's a great simplicity to this one.

    Arash, another spectacular shot from you. Love the perfect exposure of the whites and the contrast and sharpness. The eyes are full of live.

    Arash:

    Nicely done, the perches fine branches help give it more visual weight and balance for the owl, the eyes are charming.

    I usually use BP light, which has a light bg. It shows much better on the black bg!

    Cheers

    Lovely indeed. One of the most beautiful owls in my opinion. Love the eyes and the white on white!

    Striking spindly perch for this massive bird. The dialated pupils are sweet, and I definitely prefer the indirect eye contact here.
    Composition is perfect, as is the exposure.

    Great shot Arash. Like the perch that he is hanging on to and the peering pose is cool too. The eyes with the enlarged pupils are cool and the exposure and details look very nice. Well done.

    I love the small perch and the comparative size of the owl.
    Great IQ
