Hi Cheryl,
I love this shot! I think your composition is outstanding here. The light is soft and very beautiful. Detail is very sharp, and your control of the DOF is perfect. Well thought out plan that you executed perfectly. 10 points if I could give it!

Beautifully composed and exposed - you would never guess it was a captive bird. Well done in avoiding the temptation to oversharpen the image, too. It looks much nicer with that subtle softness of texture. Lovely shot.
Regards, Nigel.

An excellent picture. Although you say it was a captive bird you have managed to present it in a totally natural way. No evidence of the leather jesses or people and the light gives the impression of early dusk when these birds naturally come out to hunt. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Wonderful portrait of a beautiful Barn Owl. The warm light brings out the golden plumage very nicely. Great DOF and balance in this composition. Well Done.
