A lot of interesting elements in this image! I like the take off pose, feather patterns, setting and composition. Very well done Gerald!

[Daniel Cadieux]

The surroundings sure are fun to study. Colours and patterns are really neat! Then you place an owl in there just to make it even more pleasing to view. Good composition, details. Well done.

Great shot, beautiful setting and great looking Owl.
I would darken the mid tones in the bird only and would sharpen the bird only a little more.
I have done just this.

Very nice take off, plumage goes well with the surroundings. Over all a very nice image. TFS.

This is one heck of an image with amazing environment and Karl brought it up to an even higher level with his adjustments. The take off pose is phenomenal and the color palette is exceptional.
