A really nice image Mark. I like the unusual perch. Superb BG. I keep looking at the metal bar/strut and can't decide. Part of me thinks it balances the image nicely but the other part of me feels the left hand side should be attached to something :confused: Still a lovely shot. :wavey:

Hi Mark
Nice Little Owl pic but it doesn't seem to "sit right " for me. I think its the cropping (unless its full frame ) The perch set up seems to dominate the shot, and maybe more space all around would help, but that would make the perch even more dominant I suppose.
Cheers

Thanks for the comments .. Its a full frame shot and I guess I planned the perch to lead in from left to right in my opinion ..have done some other options as I had a zoom lens..

Nice owl-picture . I'm not sure about the perch's "right-hand" what to think about. May be a little to dominant as John said. But it's something diferent and that's also worth a lot.

I think that's superb Mark. For my taste I'd not change anything about it (unless you can find a second owl to perch on the other end of course!). :toast:
