Always nice to see a nocturnal owl.I like the capture and the head turn. If it were mine, I'd bring the brightness down just a bit so it isn't quite so obviously flashed. A minor nit on a very nice shot.

Cool shot of this interesting bird. The flash does seem a bit strong to me, but then again I don't know jack about using flash.

Quite lovely Rick! My only minor nit is the brightness of the flash.
