Keith,
The ears must be short I cannot see any

Nice light with great detail and different pose.
The perch is not the best, but there is nothing you can do about that

Hi Ken ,think I might have an image showing the ears, took lots of images of these Owls a year or so back on a piece of land about 200 acres in all but surrounded by dykes and this type of fence, and latterly by masses of people with cameras

.
Keith.

I like the very natural feel of this image, Keith - I'd say that you have nailed your processing issues

What beautiful light you had Keith. Great details on the owl with a real nice background too. Sweet shot!

wow the colors are really nice. I like the perch because that is what the owl perched on! what can you do about that?

This is also a different look it makes you wonder what it's looking at.

Love the light and background . Interesting pose, but more eye contact would make this stronger IMO. Agree the perch could be better. These guys have been my nemesis for many years. I would love to have an image of this species as good as yours. Nice work. Dave
