I would've crop off the big log from where the branch (perch) is comming out, other than that, love the BG, light, pose and eye contact! Congratulations1
Stunning image and those eyes just pop out at you. Great pose, perch and a killer BG. I like it very much as presented but Ramon's crop suggestion could work very well too. Including the log just adds another dimension of interest which I like . Many thanks for sharing.
I echo Ramon's comment about the log, it feels a bit overpowering even with an owl sitting on it. Love everything else: eye contact, BG and inclusion of the environment. A beauty!
