How good it is to see these in light, at our place these guys are completely nocturnal and we have to get the torches out to even watch them.
i like the wing position here, unique and it compliments the over all frame. The BG is superb, i like the way the owl is looking below

Different looking coming at you pose. Exposure and details look good. BG transition is ok but not ideal. I think if you created a catchlight in the right eye it would enhance the owl quite a bit. Thats if you arent opposed to that. Well done.

Neat pose, lovely BG, nice to see the face fully sunlit. I do see a faint catchlight that could be enhanced for web posting. I could also see a version with a little canvas at top.

Hi Chris, love the inflight banking pose, and the owl pops nicely against the BG. Before reading Dan's comment about the space at top, I would also take away at least half of it.

Seems like you are nailing these guys nicely.

Masters of slow flight perfectly captured. I think the angle emphasises his agilty.
Wonderful light and background.

[Shawn Zierman]

Loose composition rocks! Would not change a thing. Great use of space.
Background colors/control totally enhance the image.
