    Amazing stare. I love the way the 'horns' are blown by his speed.

    Eye-catching image. The sense of wind as mentioned and those eyes make the shot for me.

    I think that you should change the name of your workshop Jim... something like "Osprey and owl heaven workshop" ;)
    The owl´s pose is very good and love the fantastic head lookinf to the observer. I think that just a bit of additional contrast would improve this excelent image

    Stunning bird and image!
    Love those big yellow eyes and the back pattern which I believe can be a good camouflage.

    Outstanding! I love how the ear feathers bending in the wind give us a real sense if speed/motion. Thanks for sharing.
