You got a nice head turn from the owl and the topside view, nice BG too but the harsh shadows in one eye hold this frame back, petty because everything else is great

John did wonder if it is possible to lighten that eye if you so desired of course,real nice close up of this bird.

Great Head Turn ,,, Lovely light and beautiful details....

Agree with other shadows can be uplifted little more...

[John Hackney]

Thanks Arash, Keith and Ritesh.

I think so Keith, I was pretty conservative and the shadow lifting. Some days I will lift hard and other days not so.

[John Hackney]

Repost with Keith's suggestion.

[Eric Dienesch]

a really detailed picture, the second one is right for me.
the view in your lens of this little owl is very impressively.

[John Hackney]

Thank you Eric.
