thanks for looking, any comments welcome.

There's something to be said for photographing captive birds. Beautiful pose, perch, and BG. Great detail too, especially considering it was shot at 1/50.

Superb, I would darken (clone) the bright patch on the
upper right edge. Otherwise just perfect!


Cheers,

Love it! Comp, look, detail, BG, exposure are all terrific, now I don't know the species in person so I wonder if a little more saturation could help. Congratulaitons!!!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Perch, pose and eye contact are great. Another vote for cloning out the bright patch in the upper right.

Awesome image Raymond.. Outstanding composition and superb pose and detail. Love it !!

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Beautiful owl.
I really like your compo. and sharpness achieved in this one. I also wish to see this one without the OOF branch on right.

[John Blumenkamp]

Great detail... I think that darker background is ideal for this little guy - those eyes pop even more in my opinion with that setting.

Cloned branch as suggested.. thanks!!
