    Alexander I love the eye contact that the fact that this bird has caught some prey. It's a little tight in the frame but I'd be very pleased with this image. I only wish that it had been posted slightly larger.

    Great capture Alexander. Nice feather detail, great eye contact. Background color contrasts with the owl nicely.

    Great find, light, details, BG and the prey plus grass adds a lot to it. I agree regarding more room. Yes, you can post images up to 800 pixels vertically and 200kB.

    I like it just as posted. With the great eye contact, I don't mind it being a little tight in the frame. Love the background, and the prey is an extra bonus.

    Very appealing image! I love the fact you have water as the BG...haven't seen that for a SEO before. Great warm light, and I love the touches of green and red near the talons.

    I love this image exactly as you have presented it. It is colorful, intense, beautifully lit, and tells a story. Great work.

    It is fabulous. I wish the light hit the face evenly though. The eyes and plumage are incredibly beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

    This for me is stunning! The browns and the blues together here work so well!
    Bird is sharp and that stare intense! Love the eyes! Well done
