Welcome to BPN Danny, and judging by this image, we are going to see some great images from you. Stunning light and sharpness, and love the eye contact in this. What a killer BG too. Comp wise, I would give a little more room at bottom right. Congrats.
Other than what Stuart mentioned about LRC and space, this is magic. Congrats on a superb image and welcome to the best place on the web for nature photography. Hope to see more like this! :)
Welcome to BPN, Danny! Excellent first post. I like the details, pose, exposure control, light and complementing BG. I would give it more room. Keep them coming!
Cute as can be! Very nice detail and love the complementary background color. I like the diagonal perch, and if it fits your ethics, may remove the lower twig. One of the talon has a strong refection and is very bright, drawing my attention downwards. I would try toning it down some. Since I am pretty guilty (and blind) regarding color cast, I hope someone may comment if there is a hint here. Congratulations on your image.
Welcome Danny!! I just love owls and this one is just superb!!! I ditto what has been said, but must again mention the BG WOW and the perch. All so complimentary to your subject!!
Welcome. That is one stunning stare. And the light is killer. Did you consider eliminating te branches below the main branch? I am fine with the talons--no glare seen here.
Where are you from??? Where was the image created?
