    Beautiful light, exposure and focus look right on the money. I like the extended feet with the exposed claws and tremendous focus of the owl on his upcoming perch. The detail under the right wind, body and tail remind me of a tiger's stripes. Seeing the second eye might be optimal, but I'd take this image any day.

    Hi Jim,
    Nice landing pose in wonderful light. Those claws are really wicked -- well captured.

    Wow that's an eye catching shot well done it can't have been easy, those talons look very powerful and threatening.
