wonderful how you caught this owl with wing spread, I also like how the bend on the wing is mirrored in the loops of the vines on the tree. But the flask really flattens the image - makes it hard to tell what is bird and what is tree. I would like to see the bird contrast more with the tree.
Being an occasional birder I know how hard this was to get. Great shot and who can argue about it meeting the subject this challenge! : ) Is that dinner I see in the lower left?
