    Excellent portrait. Love the stare and the details.
    Even though the perch is chopped up, it has grown enough "character" to remain interesting.
    Great work.

    This is terrific. I love the touch of green in the perch. Good IQ and lovely stare and subject. I would clone out the bird droppings

    REally nice details and I like the tight comp. Perch is muted enough that it works for me! A winner!

    Holger, amazing shot. I always love shots where BG is close and yet blurred...just gives a different feel than a distant BG. sharpness is terrific. looking forward to more.

    This one has made me smile. I love the intent stare you were getting and the position of the feet on the old worn perch. Great sharpness and comp.

    Holger,
    Wonderful image. I like the way the color and texture of the background echo the owl.
    I think he's jealous because your eye is big then his. He's thinking of all the rodents he could see with that eye.
