    This is beautiful Dan. The habitat is great and I like the little bit of green on the perch. I might tone down the log in the LLC, my eye is drawn there.

    Dan:

    Excellent image with attractive owl, nice sense of the environment without obscuring the bird. I agree with Jack about the log in LLC. I would try to tone it down to match the perch, and even try a version with a very slight crop from the left to reduce its size and impact.

    Cheers

    What a sweet shot of this guy. Love the habitat that you captured him in and the HA. Really like the lighting here as it brought out some great details in the whites.

    Dan...This is gorgeous! Loving so much about it....the habitat, the feather detail, the whites. the claws. I agree that the log in the LLC should be deemphasized . ....really nice work!
