Excellent detail and great behavior!
Nice light and I like the similar colours of the owl and the BG.
A little less room on top and a bit more on the bottom would be nice, if possible.
Great image!

A great "fun" image, I agree with perhaps a little more room at bottom.

Very cute image. The feather is a nice touch. I like the sharpness and light. Seems a little tight in the frame but that is just a personal preference. Beautiful details in the eye.

Very nice detail and interesting light. Owl's eyes in general always seem to draw me into the image and this looks like a very young owl, well done.

This is lovely. The warm light makes the shot for me, and you've got great plumage detail as well. I too would like a little less room on top, and more on the bottom.

Beautiful light and detail, Robert. The feather is a big plus.

Great detail shown - my personal preference is for more room all around. I like the warm tones.

Robert,

Love the pose and how the owl has a feather in its talons. Lovely light, details and look at the eye.

Very nice. The owl sure blends in well with the BG. From looking at your gallery you seem to be burrowing owl specialist.
