I went to visit my neighbor owl again. It was resting in his favorite dry tree. Some twigs are removed from the image. Comments are welcome.

Great image, Lorant. Love the pose, details perch and background.
I noticed some blue and magenta cast in the bird and the perch, that is almost always the case with Canon.
Easy to remove.

Lorant:

Excellent pose, well scaled and angled perch, intense stare, all good

Minor point, I would soften the edges of the lighter patch just to the right of his tail.

Cheers

This is really quite a lovely owl image. The colors are powerful together. Great pose and super details.

Fantastic owl specie. Nice pose and clean BG Good Job Lorant.

Thanks for the comments, guys. Karl, I only have a laptop and despite I calibrate it it is still not accurate. Any attempt to correct the color cast would be a speculation from my side. I hope one day I will have a real good working monitor for photo editing. :).

Hi Lorant, I like the attentive stare from the owl, together with the angled pose. Super smooth BG too.
