Very nice image. The beak is sharp and I like the half closed eyes. I also like the one foot pose. It feels like the crop is just a little tight on the sides.

Awesome! It looks more like a half asleep yawn trying to stay awake. :smile:

Perfect perch, and I like the overall color tone. I wish it were mine, I haven't so much as seen an owl this year.

Perfect dof, David, and superb detail. I like the little glint of light in the left eye. :toast:

Gorgeous! Detail is superb. I agree it could do with a little more space in frame.

David, this is one of the better owlet shots I have seen in a long time. Love the detail and the yawn makes this very interesting.

When I touched the screen, it wasn't as fuzzy as I expected. The texture really comes through in this outstanding capture. :toast:

David,

Lovely light, great action, your usual high standards shine in this image. I wish I had this in my files.
