Considering the lighting you've done a great job and produced a very interesting shot. Quite like the fact that he's not looking the "right" way - makes it a bit quirky. I like it!

Looks pretty good from where I am, like the setting, white of the owl against the black background, really pleasing effect.

Very attractiv Stewart.
Perfect esposed whites. I like the color contrast of the green and the brown feathers.
Good job. :toast:

The potential here is significant. The conditions appear to have thwarted this attempt but I am sure there could be better to come.

Looks to be a great opportunity and I look forward to more to come.

Kind regards,

Brett.

The lighting here works for and against the shot - the bird and foliage are very strong, but equally well the black background somehow doesn't quite look right. It's almost a mix between a daytime and nighttime shot and I think that's what is unsettling to me as a viewer.

That said, the dark background here would give plenty of room for text.
