Lovely stare. The vertical composition looks good. Reducing the sharpening a bit would be good. Thanks for sharing.

Nice eye contact & perch.Wish the branch in the front were not there.Agree about reducing the sharpening.TFS

[Murugan Anantharaman]

very nice image.agree with others that the eye contact is good. The owl looks as if its taken a dip and shaken itself, not sure if it has or thats the way it naturally looks.

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Thanks guys for the comments, will need to work on the sharpening part.

Murugan you are right the BFO had a dip in the pond, this is the typically behavior that I have observed with BFO, they normally dip only their head in the water in search of food like fish or frogs.

I love their eyes. It seems the light was pretty low.
