This is nice, but one eye sits slightly higher than the other and it really bothered me... still great shot overall

Like the texture of the feathers shown in this photograph. Very dramatic photograph using the tight crop and three colors, emphasis on the eyes. Very well done!

Excellent detail! This might get you a ribbon. Well done!

Close crop = dynamic and intense. Shadowy around the left but nice eye detail. Don't think it needs selective desat myself, but that's personal taste. 7

Perfect compostion. Good work.

Wow. This photo is awesome. The only suggestion that I may have is to slighty rotate the photo counter clockwise to level out the eyes.
Post actions
The clarity is impressive. Very, very strong detail.

wow, what a fabulous picture! definitely a 10 from me and a favourite! You'd better make this a print, it'd do very well I think! You should also get a ribbon easy with this one

I find the overall image a bit too dark and the eyes way too dark. They need to be lightened as they are the image's major focal point. The more I look at it, the more it looks like a partial desaturation job. Either with colour of partial desat., you need to bring out those beautiful eyes more by intensifying their colour and brightening them up.

This is the best owl photo in the entire challenge -- including mine! I love the tight crop, focus is sharp, feather details are fine, the expression in the eyes. Great job.

is this a tamed bird? Cannot really comment except for Great Shot

Great capture of it's stare. It may have even worked without the desat.
