    It is a crop from horizontal format to portrait format. 1DX, ISO 400, 1/1250sec, f:6.3 , 840mm (600/4 II +1.4 TK III)

    The hoar frost takes this over the top! Intense stare, and well placed in the frame. As much as I liked the oof branches in a previous post of yours I do find them too big and distracting in the top right part of the image here IMO. Other than that, this is really super.

    Beautiful frame. The owl is sharp and the eye contact is intense. I like the frost on the branch a lot. I'm with Daniel on the OOF snow on the right, a bit distracting. May be cropping a little bit on the right. Loi

    Definitely has a winter impression. The cool colors look great and I like the wide eyed stare and the frosty perch. If you aren't opposed to cloning I would remove the white on the right. Very well done!

    Very great impact with this shot. I do think the top RHcorner draws the eye a bit. Still a fine image.

    What a stunning image. A contest entry for sure, but if you're willing to clone, a version without the snow on the right would be even nicer.

    An image that brings the winter to the viewer for sure. I feel cold just looking at the wind blown frozen snow on the branches. Awesome photo!

    Stunning image Eric! I like the frosty setting, eye contact, IQ and composition. I too would consider cloning the upper right out if it were mine and I wish it was.

    OMG this is such a beautiful owl and image. The owl just pops off of my monitor against that blue and all the snow! Well seen and executed. I like how the taller snow-covered trees help to frame your owl. It worked out well that the owl was photographed against the sky.

    Gorgeous frame! Agree with Arash about the pink color in the upper right of the frame.
