    Probably the same owl as my previous recent post but a different approach. There were multiple owls hunting in the area. The most level and symmetrical image of the sequence.

    This is great. I love all the negative space below, especially with the bird gazing down. That said, a non-traditional long crop to shot the subject a bit more could be really dramatic. Catchlights in both eyes and super sharp, so there's not much you can do to improve the image. Bravo.

    Oooh, a pano would work wonders here! I think Iprefer your previous image of this owl, but here we get another great look at the face - I especially like the white disc forming a circle around it. I like the BG colour too.
