Excellent photo with appealing colors. The background is a bit busy, but the well-focused owl stands out from it clearly.

Just incredible wing position and head turn. Clean background would be great - but otherwise a fine shot

Excellent - a species I can't recall seeing photographed in flight. I have zero issues with this background.

I love owls and I love this shot. Great detail revealed from this backwards angle. The eye is still the anchor as it looks like he is intently focused on something.

Wow! This is a fantastic flight shot. The wing position, details, and the fact that we can see the eye so well make this one a real pleasure to view.

Must have been great to catch this species in flight. Cheers, Hans
