An excellent shot all around. A bit tight all around but otherwise well composed. The details and colors are really good. The birds pose makes me think you were asking it for directions. :smile:

Well done. :toast:

Great sharpness throughout David. I like the preening pose and the good light in the eye which we often don't see in this species.

Hi LB,
What we would do without those owls every spring. Another wonderfully detailed and nicely lit owl. I love when they select a nice clean perch and great background.
