What you don't get these in your garden? Phenomenal detail John. I'm sure those eyes remind me of someone :biggrin:

Hi John
Beautiful symmetry and very striking, Have you thought about cropping so that only the owl remains. Square, portrait or landscape would all work and I think it would be a 'canvas on the wall' job!
Cheers

Great shot and the tones are good to bring out the detail. Where was this shot?

Hi John

I've just looked at this again and think you're right, the disc of the owl's face needs to remain in tact, I sit corrected

Cheers
