I have enjoyed your images for quite some time now in various media. They are beyond spectacular, and this one fits right in. Dare I say, however, I find the upper left bright area a bit distracting?

Excellent job on the focus, Moose. The UL corner doesn't really bother me, but it seems a bit tight on the left side. A couple of steps back, if it still allowed a clear view might have helped there. Still a beautiful image and one that I would have loved to take.

Beautiful image, Moose - I've seen this on your website and have admired your professional work and career for many years.
Thanks for joining us here!
The bright UL does pull my eye away a bit for me, and the left side feels a bit tight. I'd prefer more room for that branch that is bumping the side of the image. Even though that might center the owl non-ideally, I believe it would be an improvement to this marvelous image.

An interesting image. The pine separates the body and forces one to focus on the upper part of the body almost missing the lower part. A lot of very nice detail on this owl. You are very fortunate to be able to get this close.

Fine image of this bird, Moose. The light and colors are wonderful and so is the detail, just wishing for more room on the left.

A beautiful capture. I like the clarity and detail in the owl and the branch it's sitting on. I agree with other comments that the top left corner is slightly distracting but the picture is still wonderful.

Overall a nice frame. Sharpness on the Owl looks good. I do wish there was more room for the owl, especially on the left side. I too would do something about the bright upper left corner.

Look at those mesmerizing eyes! I love that he chose a nice open spruce tree to perch in. I would've thought he was too heavy for that particular branch, haha. Great capture!!
