Very nice shot of a majestic bird. The greyish colours in different tones is well percieved and your note is very informative. Thanks for sharing.

This is an excellent portrait Scott, it really is. Exposure is spot on and the details are razorsharp. The all-important catchlight in the eyes is present and the composition is just about right. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Good detail, especially in the eyes. Could use a bit more space, less of a crop if you will. But overall good shot.

Hello Scott!

How lovely, this portrait of a barred owl.

The eyes are so sweet, yet seem unhappy, the colors are bold and lighting is right on.

Another great posting, for which I thank you.

I am glad to hear that your small deer is doing ok?

Very nice portrait Scott!
Fine details, great DOF. Exposure is perfect. But best of all, the POV and the tight cropping really bring our attention on its eyes. Bravo and TFS

Personal assessment of the photo: excellent. He seems in the moon.
Capacity of evocation in me: very strong.
Very strong visual impact.
Aptness of the photo for the site: excellent.
Personal assessment of the note: complete.
TreeHouse Wildlife Center looks like the Ecomuseum at Montreal.
Thank you Scott.

Scott, you were right: I do enjoy it.

Excellent sharpness, composition and pov.

The bg highlights the beauty of the animal - which, in my opinion, seems rather sad.

Your image has excellent details.

Congratulations.

Scott,
Wow! This photo exemplifies your skills as a photographer.
What a fantastic shot bud! I mean this is probably as close to perfect as you can get. The focus (I can see his eyebrows), composition(I love the tight cropping),
The color is superb.
This is a great one for your gallery.
I couldn't nit-pick and find anything wrong with this picture.

The owl is sad looking, probably thinking of all the years ahead, behind bars?
