I have been returning to photograph the owls almost daily, but now we're paying the price for having that good weather, it is usually windy and showers now, neither of these condition are conducive to SEO flight.

Love the environmental BG, composition, the upper and lower wing detail and especially the face and eyes. Shadow only minor nit. TFS

Shadow doesn't bother me, nice eye...
I might selectively remove a few stocks but pretty minor.
The BG noise could be reduced a tad I think.

[William Dickson]

Pretty good Jon...but not as good as your last one Nice crop and detail on the bird. The BG shows the environment well. I may remove the tall OOF grasses on the LHS.

The setting is nice. Light looks pretty good as well. Wish the wings were further down.

I like the setting and composition. It must be nice spending some time with these beautiful owls. Look forward to seeing more Jon.
