    Really like the action and the light. Like how the owl on the right is frozen in mid-air.

    Great shot! Would crop off the top to make it a more standard horizontal and to emphasize the impression of the jump.

    Very sweet. Agree with Ofer's crop suggestion to place the jumper higher in the frame. Cropping even more from the right and below is also an option to really focus in on the action.

    Good job with the technicals. I have been documenting young eagles in nests for research for 6 years. If you can get a "jumper" with the wings spread it adds to the appeal.

    Nice job, I hope you will share with us their development.

    Troy, priceless moment captured!! congratulations. I also think a little crop from top and right will make it better. These sort of images are a little confusing(for me at least) when it comes to cropping. But I always get good advice here.

    I agree Kaustubh. Originally I was cropping towards the left, then move to this one. I will try again.

    I laughed when I saw this. What a funny shot. I absolutely love this. This is so cute!
    Great light and perfect timing.

    Is this a Great Horned Owl?

    Troy, your photography is improving by leaps and bounds and you did well to capture this jump! Lucky you weren't chimping (checking out your histogram of a previous picture) when the jump happened! I agree that you may wish to play with your crops, but either way, congrats!
