Salut Gilles,
I really like the angle of his head, It makes for an interesting POV.
Your cropping is very effective. The details are sharp and very well exposed. Une prise tres bien reussie.
Merci pour l'envoie. : )

Hello Gilles,
Beautiful portrait of a Barn Owl. I hope she can be rehabilitated in the wild again.
TFS, regards, Ivan

Hello Gilles,
A dynamic composition & POV in this portrait, I like it.
Very good exposure, color, detail, and use of F5.6 to isolate just the face/eyes of the subject nicely :)
Very well done.
