    I like the texture of the tree and great find. I might crop a bit off the bottom to eliminate some of the oof bark but also nice as is!

    Hi Sanjeev, great view of the little guy, open beak, and standing out nicely against the darkened area of the nest. I do like the texture at the top half of the nest, and agree with Amy to eliminate the OOF piece below. I would also try and clean up the catchlight in the right eye ( left as we view it )

    Still loving this nest with all of its textures and design. I would burn the left bright spot of the nest. The owl itself isn't looking sharp enough. I think you could have bumped your ISO a little if I remember you use a 7D. You could go to ISO 800 and give yourself a little more speed.

    Even the tree looks great especially the top part. The bottom part could be fiex by cloning or simple cropping out.
    The little Owl with the beak open loks very nice.

    Sanjeev:
    Beautiful image of owl.I like the composition,pose of owl and tree trunk with nice texture.
    Image looks little bit over sharpened.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    Phantom of the opera indeed! Very cute. I'm with Marina regarding the owl is. Bit soft, increase ISo and shutter peed should help.

    Nice nest and you have done well given the position of the light. I like the shadow on the eye, giving a bit more depth.
    Keep them coming.
