Hi Stewart,

Very, very nice capture! I love the opened mouth and pose of the in-flight owl! The background is also nice and clean! Great job hand-holding! I just find it's a little tight in the frame for my taste though and would like to see a touch more room all round!

He looks as if he's holding a conversation with you - great facial details.
