Very well captured group image. The larger version really presents the detail and wonderful light captured. Well done John!

Very cool setting. Love the way you caught the little ones looking in different directions and in different poses showing interaction amongst them. You could not have directed them to behave any better. A very special photo!

Looks like you have quite a variety around where you live, nice job getting all 4 in focus and having eye contact, way to go.

This is cool John, like it a lot. Excellent use of the side lighting with a good sense of depth.
I think it's a unique and very special image, congrats!

Superb image, John. I love the array of owlets and the youngster looking up at the adult is priceless.

This is really charming. IMO it isn't getting nearly the attention that it deserves, although having the website down for a day probably didn't help. Each bird here, doing his own thing (kind of reminds me of my four kids when they were still home) makes this one a winner. I would however, loosen the crop JUST a touch.

What a sweet image telling a great story of these siblings just hanging out.I really like the brick setting as well.
