Hi Jane,
Those eyes are amazing and adds chracter to the bird. The details and the sharpness is good too. But i would have underexposed it by half stop to get more darker tones

A powerful close-up shot of the face of this Great Horned Owl, Jane.
The focus on the eyes is very good, bringing out their intensity and beautiful colors.
Well done and TFS.

Great close up portrait, nicely composed with the tight crop which works so well with Owls are their Eyes always seem to, good detail and nice colours too.

Hi Jane, a fine shot of this handsome Owl. I can see how he would be camoglaged against the bark of a tree. You have caught him with good sharpness and wonderful detail in the feathers. The eys are amazing! Lighting and colour is excellent. I would love to know where he/she was when you took the shot.

Amazing close-up of this grand owl. Excellent sharp details of the sharp eyes and the tuft of feathers on the head! Was this taken in the wild? How close were you?
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Portrait style , with excellent detail of the eyes . Great capture , I love the fluffy tufts . This looks like a mail , and I hope you get the chance to catch his mate , too . We have a pare nesting on our farm , and the mail greets me most mornings with a hoot . They do get to know you .
