Been in that situation many times, I do like the feel of this and would like to see a version with maybe a tad off the left giving the Owl more of that desolate looking space to fly into, just my take of course. Really like this Chris right up my street.

For sure Arash, but remember:

February's theme will be small in the frame.

For sure Arash, but remember:

I am aware of the theme, but small in the frame doesn't mean "tiny" in the frame to the point that the bird is almost a speckle.

[Eric Dienesch]

Arash, i`m just kidding

[arash_hazeghi]

You got me

Thanks Keith for comments,Arash and Eric,the theme said small in the frame,it did not say how small,I am sorry I posted it.Thanks again.

Tiny can work, and to great affect too. These are the hardest images to pull off successfully. I have said on a number of occasions since joining BPN that for bird in landscapes to work all the elements have to work aesthetically, lighting composition and the over all landscape. So there is nothing wrong with the size of the bird here....it's just everything else IMHO.
