I've taken this shot on heights of Lar national park in north of Tehran in the evening of a summer day. I love Owls specially Little Owl! I like it when it looked at a bee on the right side of the frame.

Love the soft light, the owl's inquisitive look, and of course, the bee. A big crop from the bottom might be in order, as well as a bit of selective sharpening on the bird.

Farhad, Great capture! I might go a step further than Art and crop the side in closer to the Owl and crop some from the top - this would have the Owl looking into the image pulling the viewer eyes across the frame to the Bee. Bob
I really like the soft colors, the lichen crusted perch, the BG and of course the owl focused on the bee. Agree with the crop suggestions and selective sharpening of the owl. Very nice.
thanks alot for your comments and critiques , agree about some changes in framing ,it will bring forward the bird and the bee more in frame.
look forward for your comments and critiques to improve my skills.
