Hi Jax
welcome, bad owl day it may be, but lovely eyes I see! Cute, Sweet and I love it. I thought they were white! See, here is a "zoo" shot that teaches me something new about the bird, one of my favourite raptors - actually, owls are not really really true raptors. Anybody care to explain the English?

If looks could kill - I love the eyes. One of the saddest things I've witnessed was a dying owl. I don't know the reason for its death, but when he passed on the yellow light in his eyes faded. That moment will stay with me for a long time. Good capure

A very strong portrait. Nice to have only one color except grey. He looks a bit gloomy and reminds me of a Firby. Someone put one in our office for a while, I can still hear his "Boooooorrring"

Impressive shot. I like the sharpness in his eyes and the blur effect. It semms that he's almost going to speak! Well done.

Great portrait not showing
WHOLE the OWL!

I love this picture. Technically focus is good and exposure is perfect.

Artistically:
1)The tight cropping is wonderfull, it reminds me those close-up head shots we often see on covers of fashion magazines.
2)This almost monochrome picture with yellow eyes looks like a B&W picture with handpainted yellow eyes. I can feel it's not, but it looks like.
3)It reminds me those Carnival masks we often see in Europe and other places.

Nice work and TFS

Hi Jax,
I can only add praise like those who have preceded me.
I love the POV and framing, and especially the focus on the eyes.
