Super shot Chris, I like the pose and the perch, the background is equally good. The base of the perch looks a little smudged, personal choice you could clean it up a bit or crop it a little shorter. The owl looks good I would have a look with a tad more sharpening, it may not need it but if you check out the facial disks I suspect there is a little more detail to reveal.

Nice one here, i completely agree with Jonathan's suggestion above
Wonderful image here

This is a unique looking Barn Owl. Very light in color and it has very little golden color on the chest and the facial disc. I can see why you called it a ghost. Great perch, after the smudge is removed, and the BG is very nice. Well done

Jonathan gave you all the good advices on this one, Chris.

Hi Chris, I like the slight angled pose of the owl, together with the high placement in the frame. Sweet BG, and if anything, I would take a bit off the RHS.

Main fault I can see is it's not my image.

Lovely shot, nicely isolated from backdrop....I'd suggest a tad more sharpening and crop off the lower portion of the stick

great pose, details, BG, perch and nice light. I agree with a bit more sharpening.

I love to see this species perched like this! Nice comp, perch, BG. I agree a bit more sharpening to get the fine details out would be good, and that smudgy area at the bottom of the perch is a bit of an attention grabber. The whites look great!
