    Wise choice of aperture for two birds, both of which are sharp. A bit more eye contact from either bird would strengthen the image.

    Hey Frank, you were fortunate to witness this! Good comp, and nice separation between the action and the BG. A few brighter highlights could be tamed around the female's face. Odd to see such a dilated pupil in bright light!

    Great action captured and love that light. Would have wished for a bit more eye contact.

    Agree a bit more eye contact with the male bird would be icing on the cake,but you must be very pleased with what you got,excellent action shot .

    Good choice of aperture, nice pose and background. Very nicely captured, Frank. More eye contact would have put this over the top.

    Hi Frank, great eye level perspective here, and good DOF with both Owls nice and sharp. I like your comp with placement in the frame.

    Very unusual image I like the composition and the colours very much, just wish for a slightly better eye contact.

    I like the composition, sharpness, behavior and BG. Although more eye contact would be better I think its more natural that they are not looking towards the camera. Excellent image Frank!
