Very nice portrait of spotted owlet. The specks of highlight coming through the leaves in the background are a bit distraction, but nothing much you could have done about them.
Did you crop the image as a full image of the owlet would also have been interesting.

thanks, Gautam !

Nice portrait, agree with Gautam about the highlights. How big is the crop?

Nice shot, Jitendra. In my opinion, a narrower aperture and a round of sharpening would have helped here.

Engaging stare. It is quite difficult to get it so close in the clear. Thanks for sharing.
