Perfect placement of the eye framed between the two blades of grass. I would try and bring out some detail in the other eye if possible.

I love the image. The only thing to make it better would be to see the other eye in the same way. I would be tempted to crop a little more from below. This is still fabulous.

Two other comments if you don't mind:

1) Please indicate your equipment and settings for the shot
2) More for me I guess, but I would love to know what species of Owl this is?

Thanks and well done! :)

I like the angle and alert look, the composition works for me and I don't mind that we see only one eye. It is a short-eared owl, right?

Please do post the techs.

Great catch on the eye - nice and sharp. I'd crop a bit off the bottom.

[Art Kornienko]

Very interesting capture, it works well for me.

Sweet indeed. Different and for that reason I like it. Really catches your eye.
