Good job capturing this guy in the open Sandy. Excellent sharpness, detail, and comp. I also like the strong contrast between the bird and the bg making the owl stand out.

Very nice frame Sandy. The environment seems to really fit for his Owl.

I first though the owl was too centered, but looking at the entire image, it's great.
The scene is very beautiful, showing its environment. Liked this a lot, Sandy.

Very cool, Sandy. Nice to catch it full exposed like this with such great habitat. Excellent job in what I'm sure was low light.
