Taken at Parkgate Wirral, I guess I'm very fortunate, this is about 5 min from my house.

Love the lighter grasses as base, the OOF grass as BG, the over and under wing views as well as details and colors. Just a classic bird in environment composition overall. TFS

Another nice frame Jon, A friend mentioned to me they are still displaying daily, so you might get a few more chances yet - think I'm going to be too busy with work but if I get the chance I'll be up again next week.

Nice subdued tones on the bird, all details look good to me

I think you could sharpen the face a tad.. another nice environment photo.

This is my favorite of your recent owl images. Nice composition and a nice environment. Pretty cool you took this so close to home.

This is one is really nice, Jonathan. The eye looks great, and I don't mind the lack of direct eye contact here. It's an authentic view to this bird's haunting behavior.
