In your face!
As the owl gave me a close pass, he turned and flew past me to my right. I have shots with the full wings, but he kept on coming on to the point the wings were clipped, so I just went a little tighter for balance and something a little different to normal

This one is all about that face. Love the composition, BG, light, colors and details in that face. Totally works for me. TFS
Quite nice, Mike. No nits from me. Wonderful capture and experience. Thank you for sharing.

Mike real nice love the shot of the face and detail.
Nice choice of Cropping for this image.
Love the bill and eyes.
Background is also really good.
Congrats to be able to see the owls this close...

Certainly worthwhile Mike, really impressive facial detail love the eyelids!
If it were mine I would check to see what it was like with just a tad less contrast, I may just stick as is but worth a look see.
What a thrill to have him coming right at you. Nice work to stay focused on the face during the approach.
Pretty wild getting Owl face shots... Nice.

Looking real good Mike.....I like your crop. Nice detail on the face and I love the facial expression. Killer BG. We ain't getting them up here this year..

I love it Mike! The owl looks so calm. The wings are "cut" at just the right spot, and fantastic BG too.
What a fabulous opportunity and you made the most of it Mike.
Well done!
I am not usually a fan of "cut off wings" but this image works.
Great facial details,
Gail
