Looking for Owls at Jack Pine Trail and this guy looked so sad, just had to take his picture. Low light had to raise ISO, no noise..gotta love the D300.

I like the pose and slightly raised foot. I wish for a better eye contact/catch light and the whites have a blue cast. Maybe you could raise the color temperature.
Ditto Axel plus I would suggest a crop from the bottom and then get rid of what's left of the white halo in the lower left. A bit of flash would have brightened the face. All in all, a pleasing image.
later and love, artie

Very pretty pose in this capture Paul and I agree with the above comments. Thanks for sharing !
I don't mind the lack of eye contact here, this is what gives it a pensive look for this photo. I only wish the catchlight was brighter.
