Cracking pose Major and great to see the feathers slightly ruffled :wavey:

My one nit though would be the twig growing out the top of the owls head :wink: :wink: :biggrin:

Clone it out would be my suggestion.

As I said though NICE image.

Owls make fantastic subjects to photograph. I like it as is its the subjects environment and a true record. Such detail enhances the image IMHO.

Very nice pose, and great detail. I suppose rather than take out the twig you could blur it. Doesn't bother me too much though. Lovely shot
