    Beautiful owl, and a great perch (which I wish to see a bit more of). I like how it seems to be glancing way out into the horizon. I'm finding the yellow eyes a bit dark - you may wish to lighten them. I also seem to detect a slight magenta cast on the plumage. Well done!

    Nice pose and perch. A bit more head turn would put it over the top. I also see a slight color cast, and agree about brightening the eyes.

    I like the soft light, sharpness and perch. I might give it a bit more room at the bottom, lighten the iris and wish we could see more of the bird's left eye.

    Great details in the owl. I also like the soft light and the clean background.

    What a nice owl!

    Love the compo and soft light. I would crop a bit from left, just to make it 3:2 ratio.

    This is very nice...wish for a little more head turn towards you. Love the light, nice perch, good sharpness and incredible species of course. I agree with lightening the eyes a bit. Very well done.

    Well exposed, good detail, and agree regarding a slight colour cast.
