Nice image with good details. I like how the DOF keeps your eye on the owls eye. Did you mean to post this in fauna or was it supposed to be in avian?

Great look at the feather detail of the head, beak and the eye. Not too sure about the composition, perhaps a little more room on the sides and shift the bird up a little in the frame? Assuming this is a wild bird? You sure got close with the short lens!

60mm Focal length? You must have been within a couple of feet! Amazing. Excellent detail and the dof works well with this shot.

Interesting image. Shallow DOF at this focal length rally brings out that eye and surrounding feathers. Crop is a little close, but well done over all.
