A very cute image. Would have been better if you hadn't clipped the tree bit from the top. A bit more sharpness would be nice. Thanks for sharing.

Nice composition and lovely stare. It would have been good if you had increased the aperture and the ISO. A bit more sharpening would also enhance the image further. Agree about including the top. Look forward to more.

I agree with the previous comments. The owl has a lovely stare. You could have increased the ISO, so that shutter speed would have been higher.

Human brain likes to always complete the circle, be it literally drawing a circle or finishing an unfinished work etc. Its known as closure effect. So most of the people on seeing your image would ask for the additional space at the top. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
