Neil, You certainly caught the light on the owl and I really like the droopy wing and droopy eye combination. Framing of the owl works well for me with this nice setting. Nice GHO.

I like where the owl sits in the frame. The opening between the dark foilage seems made to order. Good detail and the bird's scrutininzing look is amazing.

Fabulous Neil. I love the spotlighting, it looks as if the GHO just woke up when the light fell on it with the half opened eyes. The framing in the opening of the leaves is just great.

This is very fine. Love how the foliage frames the owl and how the light shines on it. A special image IMO. Well done! :smile:

Another excellent photo of a wonderful subject. You placed yourself just right to have him framed by the vegetation around him. Love the hooded eyes. :toast:
