Comment by EL-ROI: Awesome DoF, Focus and Sharpness. The eyes on this owl are amazing except for the yellow reflections. I can be open to the option you put the eyes in the top third of the photo, however this composition is more fill the frame.
Comment by VitaminB: I like the tight crop on this shot, makes the title literal. I hope the DNMC crowd doesnt hurt this shot though, I imagine some voters may vote it down because it doesnt show DPC ribbons. 6 from me.
