Losing My Balance

[Troy Lim]

Someone was paying attention to every little thing that is around and lost his/her balance.

very cute, I like the motion in the wings, great eyes, i might consider cleaning up some of the distracting circles in the BG

and as much as i hate to say it (because i wonder why anyone does) I sure wish he woulda looked right at you

Thank you Randy. I agree with the eye contact is nicer. As for BG, I'm ok with it as is as I am probably using this in a contest so no cloning is allowed.

Magnificent image of owl.Very nice pose you have captured.
Love the pose,colors,details,perch and expression of the owl.

At first I was going to say that this one wasn't really working for me, although I love the perch and green BG. Then I noticed the owlet's talons gripping UNDER the branch which told more of the story. It's a fun and interesting behavior image, although I just wish the branch weren't cutting through the owlet.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Very nice indeed Troy, the face is very sharp and the wings show the temporary state of desperation.
It may be just me but the greens look a strange shade of green, perhaps it was the time of day but the lichen in particular looks strange to me.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I had the same reaction as Marina. Sweet and cute image Troy :-)

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the awkward pose, sharpness, perch and composition. Nice image Troy.

Nice image Troy, i love those eyes

[Nancy Bell]

I think this is great! Those eyes say it all!! Great reflexes to capture this plus keep the focus sharp on the eyes.

[Troy Lim]

Thank you all. I wish the owner of the property doesn't trim the branches too. But I am glad to have captured this moment. Perhaps a vertical crop to eliminate the cut branch would have more impact?

[Loi Nguyen]

Cute image, love those round eyes. Agreed with Daniel about the branch cut thru the owl, but it is a fun image indeed.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

I got it right away and the owlets face tells irt all. He is really trying and its a sweet capture.

[Jamie Douglas]

Cute image Troy and it certainly captures the moment so to speak. Did the little owlet correct itself or take a tumble?
