    Nice image Holger, I like the way the background and the perch colour fit in with the colour of the bird. Well done

    I like this a lot. The subtle color in the BG is very cool and a nice look from the Owl.

    Hi Holger, great eye contact, and your vertical comp works well with this pose. We have a good view of the feather detail on the chest, and I do like how the owl pops against the darker BG.
