The blue tyre in the back is a little eye grabbing but SWYT
Eye looks bright but a lot of iris showing and as it was. easily reduced if needed.

Hi John, I quite like this shot of your little owl. Iris looks ok to me. I would consider to increase overall exposure/brightness very slightly, but would suggest to see what the others think first :)

You have caught this owl well John. The spade handle works superbly and I agree the image needs a little brightening and a very slight tweak of contrast. You might say this image has been rubber stamped! The tyres would make an interesting perch, for me at any rate.

Points taken on booard. Thanks for looking.

I don't know what you did in the repost but I like the original, John.
What was he perching on?

Re-post for me John, the OP just looked a little flat.

Nice over the shoulder pose giving us a great look at the eye - it's great when you can get a full eye view as they are so beautiful. Pity about the tyres but they're not too distracting for me. Don't think that spade has a lot of digging left in it!

Me too actually karl !!!
Just darkened it a little and added a bit of contrast. Every one likes things different it seems. The perch is an old fashioned "D" handled spade. Don't see them much now.
