Another Little owl

Part of my on going work on this Little Owl family.
A shot from this evening, but it is getting more difficult to get anything exiting as they just sit around on various perches.
Great to be a part of their lives though

Good detail, color, pose and eye contact. It seems a bit centered to me, but I never know which way to place one with a head turn like this!

Lovely image of the owl. I like the perch. Details are excellent down to the hairy legs. Comp is ok to me since the perch is off center. I would brighten it just a tad, I think.

Another great perch, John. Excellent detail in the Owl. I do find myself wishing the head turn were a little more either way. Where it is, the shaded eye feels like it wants to either be hidden completely or have more light. Very nice composition and bg.

A sweet shot. I'd like to see more eye, but you did quite well with what the bird gave you.
