I wish for sharper focus around the eyes, but still a great shot.

i like this a lot; would maybe have wanted to fade or darken or do something to the background to bring out the owl even more; beautiful photo though

I think a closer crop and some sharpening to show more detail would improve this shot. Nice capture of the owl though :)

nice compositon but a little too soft on focus on the owl which causes lack of detail

Those beautiful eyes could have been lightened considerably to add more punch to the image.

Beautiful rendering of a snowy owl. I know how hard it can be to get the exposure right on them. I would try dodging its eyes a little bit: you can usually obtain a nice glow,
