No part of the picture appears very sharp which is a shame because the crop and the subject are very good. Is it a burrowing owl?

Something bizarre about this composition/capture. The darkening of the picture to the bottom and the flffed out bird just make for an odd photograph. Not sure if I like it or hate it?

Interesting capture. He looks like he's squintin' at me.

He is almost a reflection of himself! Cute shot.

Those are some eyes! Great shot. Maybe a horizontal crop with less empty space on the botton? Really focus attention on them. Beautiful sharp focus.

Not exactly sure what is not quite right here. Looks like the poor fellow is drowning in water? From his beek down looks distorted. It must be the angle he is on? Good luck
