Beautiful light, soft, natural colors, background and eye contact Brian. I like the comp you used and the rustic character of the post. A lovely and appealing image.

Love the monotones here Brian, and the directional light. I'm surprised I like your comp as much as I do - that's probably because of the very nice warm tones in the background. A strong image as posted.

I like the wonderful soft light and the look of the owl, at first I wished for a vertical composition but this does grow on you, very nice detail, well done.

The light is incredible. I love the way owls can turn their heads around. Details are superb.
