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.

[Marina Scarr]

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.

[Mike Delgado]

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

[Doug Brown]

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

[Andrew Merwin]

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

[Lorant Voros]

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.

Love the frame.

[Joe Senzatimore]

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

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Great light and detail on the owl.

[Ishmeet Sahni]

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....

[Jim Crosswell]

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

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent flight pose and sharp details.

[Jonathan Ashton]

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!
